| Fluffy Popcorn Bread
1 1/2 c Water
2 1/2 tbs Butter
1 tbs Sugar
1 tsp Salt
2 tbs Vital gluten
1 c Milled popped popcorn
3 c Bread flour
2 tsp Yeast
Pop popcorn. 1/2 cup un-popped popcorn yields 8 cups popped. Mill the popped popcorn (for best results use a flour mill). 8 cups of popped popcorn will yield 4 cups of fluffy popcorn flour. Put ingredients in bread pan in order given. Set for rapid bake. The resulting loaf is high and light--the texture almost of "Wonder Bread" but much more flavorful.
The extra popcorn flour can be frozen in a freezer bag and stored for future loaves. The fragrance is wonderful!
