I never use fat in bread - only in pastry!

My bread recipe is:

1 kg plain flour.

625 ml tepid water.

30g fresh yeast (balm).

2 tablespoons sugar.

1 level tablespoon fine sea salt.

flour, for dusting.

Plenty of kneading, covering with a clean cloth, and placing in a warm (not hot!) position to help the dough to rise.

How does peanut butter as a fat in baking react differently than butter?

Peanut butter isn't a pure fat. I has ground peanut meat as well as the fat that's in the peanuts. Butter is almost pure fat. When baking peanut butter is usually more of a flavoring but since it has so much fat in it, the butter or shortening in the recipe is reduced. You can trade peanut butter for fat since it's not all fat.
