    Bread breaks if it is stale, or is kept in the fridge, or both. It is recommended to use fresh bread when making a sandwich.

    What is the healthiest type of jam?
    Community Answer
    When you are at the supermarket, check the ingredients. They are in an order. If there's more sugar than fruit, it will say sugar first. Try looking for a healthy jam, with less sugar. The flavor doesn't actually matter, use the one you like the most.

    They have the tendency to do that, and it's not really a problem as long as it falls on the plate and not on you. You could take small chunks out of the bread to make a wall of crust along the bottom, or try folding/rolling the sandwich.

  • Question
    How do I make the jelly smooth and easy to spread on the bread?
    Community Answer
    Jelly as a rule isn't smooth - but you can try to put it in a bowl with a tiny bit of water and microwave it for 20 seconds and give it a whisk -- that might do the trick. Make sure to put the peanut butter lightly on both slices of the bread before you put on the jelly - this will keep your bread from getting soggy from the jelly.
