Huge Air pockets
My husband and I have been making pizza dough and handmade pizzas for a few years now. I started using a different brand of diastatic malt powder in 2020. Supposed to make a big difference in your dough. Well, last week I realized our had expired quite a while ago so I ordered this kind. It’s a much smaller bag for just about the same money, but I figured I’d give it a shot. Oh my word!! The difference in the dough with just 1 teaspoon of the malt powder to 900grans of flour was absolutely AMAZING!!! My husband said it was very easy to work with and we were both blown away by the huge and numerous air pockets. I will be keeping the package in the freezer since it is now open. It will last much longer this way. Not only were there numerous air pockets, but the flavor seemed improved as well. I always thought my recipe was missing something and this is definitely it! I am hooked for life with this powder. I cannot wait to make French and/or Italian bread with this addition.

Good value and packaging, works as intended
Needed to replace the diastatic malt as I was running very low, and this seemed like a good deal. Price vs. weight was just right. It works like it should, as I use it with some of my sourdough breads that need it, and it gives me good results like my previous brand. It’ll last me a long time, cause I use sparingly, and truly a little goes a long way when it comes to diastatic malt powder. Also, the sealing band actually works: many times once you open, the thin powder gets in the way of resealing the package, but this seals as intended, so it maintain freshness. I keep in airtight container in original packaging. I will buy this again. I recommend.

All malt
First of all, it arrived so quickly I was almost caught off-guard. I started my first batch of pizza dough with it, though I inadvertently used more malt than recommended. I'm hoping it won't have adverse effects. As far as the product goes, I was pleased that is is 100% diastatic malt. What I've been using up until now was a blend of malted flour with other additives. Since the function of the malt is to make insoluble carbs more available for fermentation, I'm sure the pure malt will not disappoint. JM

Great for enhancing your bread
I just use a tablespoon for every batch of sourdough bread that I bake. The bread comes out airier and with a better overall flavor.

Useful stuff! Try it.
I don't make a lot of yeast breads, but I can tell you this stuff is magic. Sorry, can't compare to other brands as I've not used diastatic malt powder before, but this product came exactly as described, in perfect condition, looks pure, and is cost effective. This powder gave wings to my dinner rolls in ways I've never seen before; also gave the rolls body and a solid feel without being heavy. I cook and bake a great deal, but don't often do yeast breads due to lack of confidence; this stuff is a game changer. I used a recipe for a copycat Rhodes dinner roll, and everyone raved about how delicious were the rolls. I'll be making more breads with this "secret" ingredient. It works. I don't need to try other brands. Happy.

Bread rise
I use this but it doesn’t seem to make any difference if I do or not, It’s supposed to make your bread rise better..But I use bread flour so probably would work better with all purpose flour.

A happy accident
I accidentally purchased the diastatic version instead of non-diastatic, but it actually worked out in a really interesting way. This stuff definitely does its job! My yeast went wild and the dough rose like crazy. My bagels ended up huge (borderline comical), but the texture was great and the flavor was noticeably richer and more complex. If you’re looking to boost fermentation and get a strong rise, this will absolutely deliver. Just be aware it’s very active, so a little probably goes a long way depending on what you’re making. Happy accident overall!

Way too expensive. It used to be reasonable but not anymore.
I absolutely love this one but the price has gone up by so much since I started buying it and I can no longer justify it. I think the company, like many others, has gotten too greedy.
