Hoosier Hill Farm Dry Malt (Diastatic) Baking Powder – 1.5 lb

Enhance flavor, color, and texture with Dry Malt Powder

Hoosier Hill Farm Dry Malt Powder (Diastatic Malt) is a versatile ingredient designed to bring a natural malt flavor to breads, rolls, crackers, and sweet doughs. The powder blends gentle sweetness with enzymatic activity, which can contribute to a softer crumb and a warmly golden crust in many baked goods. This is not a guaranteed outcome, but it is a possible result for bakers exploring richer aromas and more attractive browning in their recipes.

When replacing diastatic syrup, use the same levels and add 4 ounces of water for every pound of dry malt powder. This guidance helps maintain recipe balance while introducing the characteristic malt notes and color that diastatic malt can offer. For best results, experiment with small adjustments in your dough mixes to understand how the malt powder interacts with your flour types and hydration levels.

Usage, flavor, and texture considerations

• Ideal for breads, rolls, crackers, and sweet doughs where a hint of malt sweetness and color is desirable.
• Enzymatic activity in diastatic malt can complement dough development, contributing to a pleasant crumb and crust coloration.
• Works well as a flavor enhancer, adding depth without overpowering the main ingredients when used in moderate amounts.

Storage, safety, and handling

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration or freezing is not recommended for this powder.
• Allergens: Contains Wheat. Packaged in a facility that processes dairy, soy, peanuts, and wheat products.
