Directions
-
Pop 8 cups of popcorn using an air popper or stovetop method.

Grind the popped popcorn in a high-speed blender or food processor until it resembles coarse flour.

Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down dough, shape into a round loaf, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Let rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
