Grill the bacon until crisp and golden. Split the loaf lengthways and hollow a thin layer of bread from the top and bottom of the loaf. Spread the bottom with the peanut butter and the top half with the jelly/jam. Top the peanut butter side with the bacon. Sit the top half on and gently press down. Cut into slices.
