Malted Barley Flour 5LB

Malted barley flour is milled from sprouted barley and adds both function and flavor to baked goods. Sprouting develops amylase enzymes that convert some of the flour's starch into simple sugars, which is where malt gets its effect on dough. That activity relaxes the dough, shortens mix times, feeds the yeast through fermentation, and builds crust color through browning. It also helps the finished crumb hold moisture, keeping bread softer on the counter. Our malted barley flour is available in bulk and home use.

Malt brings a mild sweetness and a toasted, grainy note that plain wheat flour does not carry, which is why it turns up in bagels, pretzels, hearth breads, and rolls. A small amount goes a long way, so start low and work up rather than dosing by feel. Our malted barley flour is available in bulk for bread, rolls, bagels, and pretzels.
