Nah, it's a standard bread recipe so you need the yeast, dash of salt, a little milk, but you leave the sugar and oil out because the peanut butter feeds the yeast. You kind of have to use white flour too, sadly. It doesn't work that well with wholemeal.
I go half a kilo of flour, half a pint of water, couple of teaspoons of salt, packet of fast yeast or a quarter of an ounce if you get it in a tub. About the same weight if you're lucky enough to keep live yeast.
And if you really want to up the cakiness, three tablespoons of honey. But at that point, it's really not bread any more. It is delicious, though.
I've never done it with organic peanut butter. It might work, though. Oh, and for cooking I tend to do it slightly cooler and slightly shorter than a normal loaf, otherwise the sugar starts to burn. So something like 190C for 20 minutes.
Is it normal to love peanut butter as much as I do?

So, it is only peanut butter and flour? Nothing else? Can you use organic or old-fashioned peanut butter? How hot does the oven have to be?
Your description made my stomach growl.

Now I'm really, really hungry for it.

Blah! I forgot. You also need a couple of teaspoons of dried milk powder, or replace some of the water with milk. About two tablespoons.
