I still felt a kind of inventive which is why I will share my personal tried and tested recipe with you.

HOW TO MAKE BREAD POPCORN

Unlike the popping sessions when making a regular popcorn, these bread popcorns are made with ease and peace. Start by preparing your bread. The slices of load bread are the ones commonly used in making bread popcorns since they can be cubed easier. Bread popcorn is another recipe in which you can use leftover bread and transform it into a sweet treat. Cut your bread into small pieces, half inch size is good. Toast your bread cubes by slightly frying it. If you don’t want to use oil, you can use a toaster or an air-fryer. When the toasted bread cubes are ready, set them aside and we’ll make our caramel sauce.

Caramel sauce is made by simply mixing sugar and water until it caramelizes. For a buttery flavor, melt some butter before the sauce gets thick. Beware not to use a high flame to prevent the sugar from burning. Coat the toasted bread cubes with the caramel syrup.

The last thing to do is to let the bread popcorn sit for a bit for the coating to dry. You can just leave it at your counter to air dry, chill them or toast them again. Serve the bread popcorn with some hot milk and enjoy your movie night!

Aside from personal consumption, you can also sell these sweet treats. Make sure to pack the bread popcorn in an air-tight container to preserve its crunchiness.
