Cheri, making bread is pretty intimidating but SO easy once you’ve done it a couple of times. As long as your yeast gets foamy, you’re pretty much guaranteed a success.

Ha! That’s an amazing idea. If you used a different nut butter and a different jelly, it’d be like getting to eat TWO sandwiches at once.

Sorry, Barbara, I’m really not sure! I haven’t personally tested that. This recipe makes 2 loaves, so at the very least you’d need to cut it in half. If you’re just looking for a whole wheat bread recipe, I know that this one works great. Just set it to a medium loaf (whole wheat setting if you have it!) and use the full baking cycle instead of the dough cycle that recipe calls for. If you omit the feta and olives, it’s a standard whole wheat recipe — that’s what I do if I’m using my bread machine.

If you’re looking at doing the PBJ swirl and don’t want to risk halving the whole recipe for your machine, you could use your favorite dough recipe in your bread machine. Take the dough out of the machine and pick up at the step where you stretch the dough and add the jelly/PB. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.

Ha! I hope it’s legal, because I’ve been eating it left and right all weekend 😀

Thanks, Kayle!
