King Arthur Flour sells diastatic malt in one pound bags for about $5.00 (Item # 3413). http://www.kingarthurflour.com I was introduced to the use of diastatic malt about ten years ago when I visited the King Arthur retail store in Vermont. I now use about 1 teaspoon of it to six cups of flour in virtually all of my 2-loaf recipes. It seems to make the yeast very happy. Good luck. Cheers, The Old Bear |

Please, please, please, what is the difference between diastatic malt and
the malt syrup you can buy in home brewing shops?? I know one is a powder the other a liquid. Just what does diastatic mean in this case? Can you use Carnation malt in breads?

That helps in the conversion of the flour's starches to sugars to feed the yeast. That said, most flour that is sold commercially already has diastatic malt in it.

Thanks Kenneth,
I've been wondering about that since I started reading the NGs and several bread cook books.
