Description

This unique whole wheat popcorn bread offers a nutty, hearty flavor and a dense, satisfying texture. By grinding popped corn into a flour-like consistency, you add an extra layer of complexity and fiber to this rustic loaf. It pairs beautifully with soups, stews, or simply with a smear of butter. Perfect for a cozy weekend baking session or a unique side dish for dinner parties. The combination of vital wheat gluten and malt gives it structure and a slight sweetness, making it a versatile addition to your bread repertoire.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pop 8 cups of popcorn using an air popper or stovetop method.
  2. Grind the popped popcorn in a high-speed blender or food processor until it resembles coarse flour.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, salt, yeast, dry malt powder, and crushed vitamin C. Stir until dissolved and let sit for 5 minutes to activate yeast.
  4. Add the vital wheat gluten, whole wheat flour, and milled popcorn to the liquid mixture.
  5. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down dough, shape into a round loaf, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Let rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
