Gourmet popcorn treats that bring joy with every crunch
Pizza Popcorn
What are two of the most popular foods you want on hand if you're having a movie night in or a day of couch time and football on TV? For us the two would be pizza and popcorn. So of course we had to try to combine the two to make pizza popcorn. And with spectacular results, if we say so ourselves.
We wanted all the ingredients of a great pepperoni pizza because that's our favorite. But we switched the crust for popcorn. It's all about the toppings anyway, right? You can make pizza sauce or just buy your favorite brand but we recommend baking it on the popcorn so that it adheres and stays crisp. Because the liquid will cause the popcorn to shrink up some we opted for our mushroom kernels. The largest of our popcorn types, mushroom kernels pop up fat and round with a classic corny taste and big crunch.
Once we baked on the sauce layer we topped it with mozzarella, Parmesan and lots of crispy pepperoni. The final touch was dried oregano, just like what you find in the canisters at a good pizza parlor.
It smells amazing, tastes amazing and has all that good pizza flavor in a great big bowl of crunchy goodness. Having friends over to watch the Super Bowl? Trust us and make lots and lots of batches of this. It will all disappear.
