Instructions:

Buttered Popcorn Bread

1 package yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons wheat germ
1 tablespoon butter flavoring
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon oil
5 cups popcorn, crushed

Dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside.

In a bowl, combine ginger, sugar, flour, wheat germ, butter flavoring, salt and oil. Add the yeast mixture and knead until smooth and satiny, about 10 minutes. Knead in crushed popcorn (reduces to about 2 1/2 cups). Allow to rise, covered, in a warm place for 2 hours.

Punch down; place in a greased loaf pan, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
