Notes

Malted Barley Flour – A Flavor Profile Game Changer
Malted barley flour or malt flour is made from barley that is malted…meaning the barley has been allowed to germinate. It is steam-dried, hulled, ground, and sifted.
Replacing just a teaspoon or two of all-purpose flour with malted barley flour relaxes dough and shortens mix times, making it ideal for adding the sweet yet subtle taste of malt to bagels, crackers, pastries, rolls, quick breads, and much more!
