Place the two slices of bread on a clean and flat surface, such as a plate or cutting board.
Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly on one side of the first slice of bread using a knife.
Spread 2 tablespoons of jam or jelly evenly on one side of the second slice of bread using a clean knife.
Carefully place the two slices of bread together, with the peanut butter and jelly sides facing each other.
Optional: If you prefer a toasted PB&J, spread a thin layer of butter on the outer sides of the sandwich and toast it in a hot pan or skillet until golden brown on both sides.
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally or vertically, if desired, and serve immediately.
