                    Diastatic Malt Powder

                    5 Review(s)

                    Price $5.90

                    Availability: 15 In Stock

                    This malt powder is made from certified organic barley grown by a family farm in Central Otago.

                    Diastatic malt powder is the "secret ingredient" bread bakers use to promote a strong rise, great texture, and lovely brown crust. When used in baking it increases the enzymatic activity of dough, which means starch converts to sugar more quickly. As a result, the sugars caramelize more intensely, making a darker crust and a sweeter dough. As a result of heightened yeast activity, malt can help bakes rise into a higher volume, with a more tender and even texture.

                    Available in 100g, 500g and 1kg bulk pack in a home-compostable, biodegradable pouch.

                    Please see more info below to choose the correct size for your needs.
