SANDWICH BREAD
▪130g or 1/2c warm water (86F/30C)
▪5g or 2tsp instant yeast
▪1 egg
▪45g or 3 1/4Tbsp melted butter (not hot)
▪45g or 3 2/3Tbsp granulated sugar
▪100g (about 1/2-2/3 of 1 potato) roasted and riced russet potatoes (peel, wrap in foil and roast at 400F/205C for 1 hour)
▪430g or 3 1/2c AP flour
▪10g or 1 3/4tsp kosher salt
Using dough hook attachment, mix on medium for 4 mins. Increase speed to high and mix for a additional 7-8min. Dough should be clearing the bowl and pass the tug test when done. Round dough into a taught ball (see video @1:45). Cover bowl & ferment at room temp for 2 hours.
Prep 1.5lb loaf pan with oil or pan spray. Flip dough onto lightly floured surface and press to degas. Shape as shown in video @6:52 and place into pan, seam side down. Mist with water, cover with towel, & proof at room temp for 60-90min.
Mist loaf well with water then score top. Load into preheated 400F/205C oven, spritz oven well with 12-15 spritzes of water, & bake for 30min.
--
RASPBERRY JAM (makes about 2 pints)
▪500g or 4c fresh raspberries
▪75g or 1/3c lemon juice
▪75g or 1/3c white distilled vinegar
▪700g or 3.5c granulated sugar 2
▪60g or 1/3c + 2Tbsp regular fruit pectin
Add all ingredients except pectin to a heavy bottomed pot over high heat. When simmering, stir to combine. Cook until tender for about 10min. Reduce heat to med/med-high when mixture begins to foam, stirring occasionally. Strain seeds out of ⅓-½ of the mixture, making sure to force all juice and pulp back into the mix. Discard strained seeds. Return pot to high heat and bring to a boil then whisk in fruit pectin and continue boiling and reducing until temp reaches 220F/105C. Ladle into jars with lids and cool to room temp then refrigerate for 12 hours to set.
--
PEANUT BUTTER
▪500g or 3.5c spanish or runner peanuts (I’m using spanish)
Spread peanuts onto sheet tray and roast at 300F/150C for 40-50min. Add to food processor and process for 10-12mins or until smooth and creamy.
--
WHIPPED SALTED BUTTER
▪450g/1lb room temp butter
▪3-4g/Pinch kosher salt
Mix with whisk attachment on high for 3-5min until fluffy and lightened in color.
--
TO BUILD:
Cut thick slices of bread. Spread 2 large spoons of peanut butter on 1 slice. Top with sprinkle of flaky salt. On the other slice of bread, spread 2 spoons of butter. Squeeze jam on top of peanut butter (rather than spreading) to maintain layers of each ingredient.

I also prefer to mix it all together instead of have separate layers on each side of the bread

[@SoulFeathe]

I really want to make this at home now! 🤤

[@theraweggfiles]

I need to know: Why the butter layer? I'm an avid lover of cooking and baking and I'm always desperate to learn. So why the butter? BTW, I'm addicted to your channel! You're the only one I've encountered who shows different sides and variations of recipes and explains WHY. I love that.

[@ExpandDong420]

Because butter is tasty and adds some more of the texture you expect from peanut butter that's missing from the homemade stuff

[@MohicanIncan]

Makes the name fit as well.

[@Bork0r]

Maybe the butter (apart from the taste) helps reduce the stickiness of the peanut-butter?

[@BobSchroden]

stops the jam from soaking into the bread and disappearing

[@Bork0r]

@@BobSchroden good point!

[@CharleyBrown69]

Pure awesomeness!!! Well done sir. Well done.

[@EduardoSevero]

now that is pure perfection

[@vetchable]

1) i just discovered you and I love your energy, def subscribing. 2) What are your thoughts on mixing the peanuts to get the pros of the runner butter but deepen the flavors? maybe 50-50, maybe 65-35? EDIT: what does scoring the bread do? is it just aesthetics?

[@keplyr]

scoring bread allows for more puffing to occur because it isnt as tight. It just makes the loaf more fluffy and softer

[@PECOlv]

As always, this looks AMAZING! One quick question, can I use lime juice instead of vinegar for the jam? I hate the smell of vinegar and try not to use it unless necessary. Thanks in advance!

[@rdpsysium7340]

I'd say go for it. You're subbing an acid for an acid. I'm not sure if it'd affect the final texture, but it'd be worth trying. I think lime juice + berries are a delicious combo.

[@bolotenha]

Agreed, the smell of vinegar is so yucky... I see no reason why to use it, full lime juice sounds much better.

[@user-cs1xz]

this is INSANE. omg so excited to try to make this

[@vladuham777]

*IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!*

[@JustMe-12345]

For the jam: You dont need as much sugar, less usually works really well. Make sure to sterilize your jars and lids (and make sure they are pop-lids) =< if the lid pops its sealed airtight and lasts for a long time. If not then make sure to eat quickly. And raspberry seeds have pectin in there already if i remember correctly, so maybe could be enough on its own. Oh and sugars exist that are specifically for jams, usually they will have pectin added already and make it super easy

[@TadThurston]

When I stroll into my faculty meetings with my 2 loaded, dripping PB&J sammiches I get made fun of for being a toddler, but now I can say IT'S HOMEMADE and ARTISAN. Can't wait to try! BTW -- I love strawberry, so can I just sub the equivalent amount of strawberries instead of raspberry? If going by 500g it would seem to me that the same mass wouldn't make much difference?

[@chriswhinery925]

You'll probably want to look up a recipe for strawberry jam specifically. As Brian said in the video, jam will not set up properly if you don't have the right proportions of acid, pectin, sugar, and water, and since the amounts of all 4 of those ingredients are different in every fruit, it means you can't easily sub out one for another in the same recipe. P.S. if you make strawberry jam I recommend adding a light grating of fresh nutmeg to it, it won't throw off the recipe and it's AMAZING.

[@TadThurston]

@@chriswhinery925 Thanks -- good point. It occurs to me that maybe raspberries have more "surface area to volume" than strawberries, so that might throw off the ratios.

[@Appaddict01]

Strawberry jelly is my favorite for PB&J. Although, I prefer extra crunchy peanut butter.

[@mrsteeleftw]

I used to make peanut butter and butter toast and it was delicious

[@grease3873]

This was the best 14 minutes of my life so far

[@Bender1138]

OMG. When I was a kid, I LOVED peanut butter and BUTTER sandwiches! I actually still like 'em, even though my wife thinks it's gross. Good to see a professional chef adding butter it to a PB&J.

[@denys-p]

Hey Bri, how about making good Hawaii pizza? I personally hate it, but have a feeling that you’re able to make a delicious version ;)

[@kaeb0_o264]

☝️cosign, would love to see your version of Hawaiian pizza.

[@recoveringsoul755]

Ooh, using the used mayo container for squeezable jam is a great idea.

[@300andDeadStraight]

As a PB&J sandwich, I can say he made me as sophisticated as I needed to be. Thank you.

[@JackFlower]

How old do you have to be to eat this?

Old enough to have teeth

[@ploxxybb]
