is this even possible? So far I am beginning to think it is not…….
My problem lies with a bread not being flexible enough to bend around the PB&J when pressed.
I am using a Pampered Chef gadget for tarts.
Udi and Rudi’s bread is just too small for my tart press and not sturdy enough so when I make a tart it just oozes out of all the holes. So I decide to make my own loaf of bread, this I know I can get large enough that the tart press will only get the inside of the bread and I tried it while it was warm thinking it might be more flexible, didn’t work so I tried it while cold and it didn’t work.
How can this be done. not sure yet. other store-bought breads are too stiff and won’t make a tart. Am I doomed? probably yes, as when I googled the subject it doesn’t look too many other people have quite accomplished this yet either. so I am destined to just cut the crust off of bread which if using store-bought bread leaves me with two bites of pb&j but who has time to make homemade every couple of days. I think I will play with a thin crusted or no crusted bread recipe. not sure how but there has to be a way.
My ultimate goal was to be able to freeze these uncrustables and just pack them daily in a lunch. I just have to keep trying. I live for convenience and today it just didn’t work for me.
UPDATE NOTE: not possible so I have found. Every type of bread imaginable did not work. so my solution glutino crackers. I now open a package make peanut butter cracker sandwiches put 1/2 in his lunch and 1/2 for the next day. works great and they dont’ get soggy! Problem solved because it’s also easier to eat in the lunch room and I don’t have to worry about my kid throwing half the sandwich away!
So I tried something that other people were doing with regular bread putting PB on both sides and a squirt of jelly in the middle and just freezing the sandwhich. Excitedly I did the whole dang loaf and guess what it don’t work on gluten free bread. A little help from anyone who has successfully done anything like what I am trying to accomplish is welcome!
