Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread

I usually spread my peanut butter on bread after it's baked:
But I found this fun looking recipe on King Arthur Flour and decided to give it a try.

The recipe had an oatmeal bread base, which was mixed into a flour, honey, water and yeast mixture:

More flour and whole wheat flour are added until a nice soft dough is formed:

Quite a bit of flour had to be added while kneading to get this dough smooth and ready to rise:

Once the bread rose, it was time for some fun:

I split the dough in half and rolled it into a rectangle, similar to how a regular loaf of bread is made. But This is then spread with a bit of peanut butter and then jelly (I used a fig jam), and rolled up for a swirl of tastiness:

Once these loaves rose:

I baked them into an unusual sandwich bread:
Another time I'll roll my dough a bit thinner and attempt a bit of a tighter loaf for a better spread of the peanut butter and jelly - but this bread was still a big win.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies

It is no secret that I like peanut butter, and I'll try a new peanut butter cookie recipe...well, anytime:

So when I saw this recipe in the New York Times I softened some butter and blended it with sugar and peanut butter (I used crunchy):

Here's the final dough once I added in the flour and leavening:

The dough then had to be rolled into a log and chilled for a few hours:

Once the dough is cool, all that remains is slicing, baking and construction - and the dough can be chilled for a few days or even frozen to have ready for unexpected peanut butter cookie cravings:

I found once the cookies were cooled that the best method of construction was assembly line:
Once they were done it was like having the tastiest bits of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich rolled together...but I will continue to make bread instead of taking these for lunch. probably.
