I bet the kids have never seen a peanut butter and jelly sandwich like this one before!  I made a similar recipe that was quite complicated, but after some experimenting I found you can make this braid quick and easy by using Pillsbury’s French Bread Loaf.  It’s warm, gooey, and delicious.  The kids will be so excited!  Enjoy!

The Warm Peanut Butter And Jelly Breakfast Braid

1 can Pillsbury French Bread Loaf

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup of your favorite jelly

1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon of water

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1-2 tablespoons milk

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Carefully roll out French Bread Loaf over a floured counter top so it is in the shape of a rectangle.  With a rolling pin, roll out the dough to an even thinness.  Using scissors, cut strips, about 3 inches deep into the long sides of the dough, cutting in towards the center of the dough, leaving about 3 inches of uncut dough in the center.  Carefully spread peanut butter down the center of the uncut dough, then spread jelly over peanut butter.  Take each cut strip of dough, going from one side to the other, and fold over filling making a braid down the center.  Brush top of braid with egg wash.  Bake for 25-30 minutes or until nice and golden.  Let cool for 10 minutes, then whisk together the powdered sugar and milk and drizzle over top of braid.  Cut into squares and enjoy!
