Question

Describe the steps involved in making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Answer 1

Ingredients and tools
- 2 slices of bread, peanut butter, jelly or jam
- Butter knife or spreader, spoon (optional), plate, napkin

Step-by-step
1. Lay out two slices of bread on a clean plate or cutting board.
2. Open the peanut butter jar. Use a clean knife or spreader to scoop a portion (about 1–2 tablespoons) and spread it evenly across one slice. Start in the center and spread outward to the edges.
3. Wipe or use a different knife for the jelly to avoid mixing into the peanut butter jar. Open the jelly and use a clean utensil or spoon to place about 1 tablespoon on the other slice, then spread evenly.
4. Place the peanut-butter-covered slice and the jelly-covered slice together with the spreads facing each other.
5. Press lightly so they stick together. If you like, trim the crusts or cut the sandwich in half (diagonally or straight).
6. Serve immediately or wrap for later.

Quick tips
- Use crunchy or smooth peanut butter and jam or preserves according to taste.
- Toast the bread first if you prefer warmth and texture.
- For nut-free alternatives, use sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter.
- Clean utensils between spreads to prevent cross-contamination, especially important with allergies.

Storage
- Wrap in plastic or place in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for a few hours or in the refrigerator for up to a day or two (depending on bread freshness).
