Diastatic Malt

$2.89

A must have ingredient for making pizza dough!
Sold in an 8oz repackaged plastic container.
Ingredients: Malted barley flour, dextrose, wheat flour.
Malt is sometimes called the European secret ingredient for baking pizza in a conventional home oven, which can't reach the temperatures of a pizzaria brick oven.
A small amount of Malt added to your dough will help it brown and will give it a subtle nutty-caramel sweetness in lower temperatures!
Let your breads rise higher and brown easier!
Diastatic malt powder is the "secret ingredient" savvy bread & Pizza bakers use to promote a strong rise, great texture, and lovely brown crust.
Especially useful when flour does not have barley malt added, as is true for most whole wheat flour and many organic flours.
Active enzymes in diastatic malt help yeast grow fully and efficiently throughout the fermentation period, yielding a good, strong rise and great oven-spring.
Add only a small amount: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per 3 cups of flour.!
