Review: Well worth buying if you are looking for really great bread. - Well I have always been on a quest for that loaf of bread that matches what my grandmother used to make. Reading about how this might move me one step closer I purchased it with some hope it would help but not really confident it would make that much of a difference. Well I made my first batch and I am not sure how or why but everything came out incredibly well. I made some loafs of bread and some bagels. Both tasted great and certainly a step above my average results. I am sure that this amount will last for a good while so the cost is not all that great and I think the result is certainly worth the expense. Review: Perfect flavor addition to my bagels - I use it in my homemade sourdough bagels; it adds just the right amount of extra flavor. I use this in the dough as I have read that the diastatic helps somewhat with the small amount of rising in the dough. I use the non-diastatic in the water I boil the bagels in. I don't have the scientific explanation on why the non-diastatic is better or worse, I just know what I do and it turns out great bagels. Works great and adds the right amount of flavor to the end product. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001AVRRE | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (359) | | Manufacturer | Barry Farm | | Package Dimensions | 7 x 5 x 2 inches; 1 Pounds | | UPC | 050647107778 | | Units | 1 Pounds | ## Images ![Diastatic Malt Powder, 1 lb. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SNM34+9XL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What's the shelf life of this product?** A: The package that I bought had a use by date of July 2014, which is 18 months after the purchase date so figure a shelf life of at least that length. As the malt contains enzymes, I would suggest storing the powder in the freezer along with your dry yeast. **Q: If using diastatic malt powder for making bread, do you eliminate the sugar or honey used, or is the malt powder used in addition to the sweetener?** A: the malt powder is used in addition to the sweetener. **Q: How is the ratio of use of this product for, let's say 4 cups of flour...??? How many teaspoons or tablespoons...???** A: Depends on the bread I would use 1 t to 3 c flour, I get a very fine grain white bread with this amount. The package says 1/4 t per loaf. **Q: Can you use this in recipes for a bread machine?** A: I'm old school and have never used a bread machine, but you shouldn't have a problem using it in yours. I add about a teaspoon for each pound of flour. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth buying if you are looking for really great bread. *by D***R on November 8, 2013* Well I have always been on a quest for that loaf of bread that matches what my grandmother used to make. Reading about how this might move me one step closer I purchased it with some hope it would help but not really confident it would make that much of a difference.

I use this in the dough as I have read that the diastatic helps somewhat with the small amount of rising in the dough. I use the non-diastatic in the water I boil the bagels in.

Works great and adds the right amount of flavor to the end product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing, magical stuff! *by R***O on November 13, 2012* I've been baking on and off for about 4 years now and have always been disappointed that I could neither get the smell nor the rise (oven spring) of a professional bakery. After recently deciding to use diastatic malt powder(around 1/2 to 1 tsp per loaf) and Peter Reinhart's cold-temp rise method, I finally made the most delicious bread I have ever made. My house smelled exactly like my favorite bakery in Berkeley! Be careful about a couple of things... 1) more than 1 tsp per loaf, then you run the risk of having gummy-textured bread 2) most commercial bread flour already have malted barley flour added 3) DIASTATIC and NON-DIASTATIC are completely different. The latter is used only as a flavoring/sweetener; it really doesn't change the behavior of your dough --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3978713-diastatic-malt-powder-1-lb](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3978713-diastatic-malt-powder-1-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
