Product Characteristics or Behavior

Malted barley flour is milled from sprouted barley and is used to enhance functionality, yeast activity, and natural sweetness in baked goods. It helps relax dough, shorten mixing times, and promote even browning during baking.

This flour contributes moisture and improves overall dough performance when used alongside wheat flour. Its enzymatic activity supports fermentation and structure in a wide range of baked applications.

 

Product Details

Malted barley flour is commonly used in bread and baked goods to improve texture, moisture retention, and flavor development. High protein malted barley flour is preferred for baking applications, while lower protein varieties are typically used in brewing.

This flour absorbs more liquid than refined flours and should be used thoughtfully in formulations to maintain proper dough consistency.
