Malt in bread
 

I've been looking at a website called the Artisan dot net - all bread
and pasta recipes. Several of the recipes call for Malt. Only a little
i.e. 1/4 teaspoon.

I've looked for this in baking sections at Safeway and Giant.

Can someone tell me what it is and if I'm looking in the
correct place. Or is it a specialty item only found in Italian
food shops? Or is it no more than the malt you put in milkshakes?

tia.

There are a couple of different types of malt powder. I assume that
what they want is something like this:

That makes sense.

Darn it. We managed to get a lift in a real motor vehicle over to
Annapolis last Wednesday and went to Whole Foods for a soup lunch.
Completely forgot to look for the malt but that would have been
an ideal place. :(

Will have to wait until we sail up to Washington next weekend or
thereabouts.

i hate that

I like to eat Malt in Bread.
