I was a peanut butter bread fanatic in high school. I was like a serious hound dog with my sense of smell on an elevated level. As I walked to homeroom I would take a big sniff in the air to see if the cafeteria was delivering peanut butter bread to the students that day. On the days when my nose would tell me yes, I would make a mad dash from homeroom to nutrition in order to get first dibs on the line and get my warm peanut butter bread in my hands that much faster. It was such a big deal to me then and still is as an adult. I love that the top of the bread bakes hard while the inside remains soft to the bite. I like cutting a slice warm and spreading a dollop of jelly on top. It is wise to keep a big glass of milk nearby. The moist bread not only tastes like a peanut butter sandwich; it gets stuck to the roof of the mouth like one, too. Like I said, keep a glass of milk nearby… you'll need it!
