Diastatic Barley Malt Powder Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 50g/2oz

I found this helps the structure of the bread and I would compare it to vital wheat gluten. It comes in a small envelope and seems somewhat overpriced for the quantity that you receive. If cost is no object then this diastatic malt powder is for you.

Homemade bread is possibly my favorite thing on the planet other than homemade ice cream. It’s everything. Amazing. I’ve been making bread for over a decade now but I don’t know why I never researched any further into the realm of bread art and science. I mean I know some technique and some degree of science but I’m very...rustic.But anyway, it was only until now, (quarantine perhaps?) that I started looking into it and found out about this little guy.Ok, now my bread is GOOD. Like, the best it’s ever been. When your extremely honest, straightforward-to-the-point-it’s-rude mother tells you your bread tastes like or even better than bakeries in Mexico or France, and that your pizza is better than any other she’s had, or that Einstein has nothing on your bagels...(Leaves the room in disbelief while rays of triumph shine over)

A recipe for Detroit style pizza called for diastatic malt powder, so I tried it. Some sources describe it as a magic powder that helps bread rise. Some say it’s the secret ingredient used by all professional bakers. It turned out amazing, the pizza crust had a beautiful color, texture, and great rise. The product came in a nice resealable pouch for freshness. I will use it every time I make pizza or bread.

This made commercial yeast bread almost as tasty as sourdough. Really added spectacular depth to the flavor! Thumbs up!

Product works great but expensive for the amount you get. You can get a better deal ata health food store!

Bought this as I had a recipe I wanted to try that had this ingredient - unfortunately that recipe did not work out. BUT I wanted to try it in my no-knead bread. So far have made 2 loaves and it made a big difference in the yeast leavening and in the bread flavor. My Husband is very happy with this 'new' bread and so am I. Will plan to keep using it in my breads. BTW I used 1 and 1/2 teaspoons for about 3 cups of flour.

Used to make bagels and the flavor made a noticeable difference. Delicious! A bit pricey, as this recipe calls for more than half of this product, so less than 2 batches for that price, along with other ingredients abs tediousness...have to wonder how any delicious bagel can cost less than $5...

I absolutely love this diastatic barley malt powder for my long ferment bread doughs, baguettes, and pizza crusts. It improves the texture immensely and provides food for the yeast during the long ferment process. The flavor, for me, is not discernible. If you're looking for a barley malt flavor, you probably want to look for a non-diastatic malt, a malt syrup, or a powdered malted milk. This, for my purposes, is strictly for baking. Makes a divine crust!
