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.
-
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.
-
Add the vital wheat gluten, whole wheat flour, and milled popcorn to the liquid mixture.
-
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.
-
Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
