Homemade Uncrustable Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

A step‑by‑step recreation of the iconic frozen Uncrustable sandwich. Soft, pillowy homemade sandwich bread is enriched with a water‑roux for extra moisture, paired with a smooth, lightly salted homemade peanut butter and a bright grape‑apple jelly. The result is a crust‑less, perfectly round sandwich that can be made ahead and frozen for quick lunches.

Critical Success Points

  • Make the water‑roux; it determines the softness of the bread
  • Knead the dough until smooth; under‑mixing yields a dense crumb
  • Bake to an internal temperature of 190°F; under‑baking leaves a gummy interior
  • Strain the apple‑juice mixture to achieve a clear jelly
  • Use the wrinkle test to confirm jelly set
  • Crimp the sandwich edges firmly to seal without crust

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot roux and boiling jelly with care to avoid burns
  • Use oven mitts when removing hot bread from the oven
  • When using a food processor or blender, keep the lid securely locked
