1teaspoonSalt
2tablespoonsVital gluten
1cupMilled popped popcorn
3cupsBread flour
2teaspoonsYeast

Directions

Pop popcorn. ½ cup popcorn yields 8 cups. Mill the popped popcorn.

8 cups of popped popcorn will yield 4 cups of fluffy popcorn flour.

Put ingredients in breadpan in order given. Set for rapid bake. The resulting loaf is high and light--the texture almost of "Wonder Bread" but much more flavorful. I milled the popcorn in my electic Miracle Mill but the hand mills should work fine,too. Popcorn must be compressed a bit as it's entering the mill and a wooden lemon reamer works well as a "stuffer". Do NOT attempt to mill unpopped popcorn in your electric mill. I can only break those hard kernels with my Back to Basics hand mill. The extra popcorn flour can be frozen in a ziploc and stored for future loaves. The fragrance is wonderful!
