Main Ingredients- 2 slices of bread
Sweet & Crispy Syrup- 3 Tbsp sugar
- Water, enough to cover the sugar
- 1 Tbsp butter (or margarine)
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- Water, enough to cover the sugar
- 1 Tbsp butter (or margarine)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 2 slices of bread. Since we’re making popcorn shapes, you can cut them into 1-2 cm cubes or bite-sized pieces according to your preference.
Step 2
After cutting the bread, get a pot or frying pan ready. Place the cut bread pieces in the pan heated over low heat. Stir continuously with a spatula or chopsticks to toast them until golden brown, ensuring they don’t burn. This process will make the bread extra crispy.
Step 3
Once the bread is golden brown, transfer it to a separate bowl for a moment. You can use the same pan. Add the sugar and water to the pan and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. The sugar will dissolve completely, and the syrup will start to bubble.
Step 4
When the syrup begins to boil, add 1 Tbsp of butter (or margarine) and stir until melted. Adding butter will significantly enhance the flavor and give it a nice sheen.
Step 5
Add the toasted bread pieces to the prepared sweet syrup and toss quickly to coat. It’s important to mix them rapidly so the syrup evenly coats the bread. If you mix for too long, the bread might become soggy.
Step 6
Once coated with the syrup, arrange the bread popcorn attractively on a plate. They are delicious when eaten warm, or you can let them cool completely for an even crispier texture.
Step 7
Enjoy your homemade bread popcorn with a glass of warm milk for an even more delightful experience. It’s perfect for movie nights or a lazy afternoon snack!
