Hoosier Hill Farm Dry Malt (Diastatic) Baking Powder, 1.5LB (Pack of 1)

I recently used this malt powder for making homemade pretzels, and it was fantastic! It gave the pretzels that signature golden-brown color and that delicious, slightly sweet flavor that you find in traditional pretzels. The dough was easy to work with, and the texture was spot on—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.I also love that it’s a versatile ingredient that can be used in other baked goods, but for pretzels, it really makes all the difference. The malt powder is finely ground, mixes easily into the dough, and really elevates the final product.

I'm no expert baker and haven't used diastatic malt before to give a comparative review, but this worked great in a few recipes I wanted to try over the holidays and did what it was supposed to do!

I couldn't find any in the stores around me so I ordered it on line. I was making pretzels in no time.

Takes pizza dough to the next level!

The bagels available locally are simply bagel-shaped bread, so I have to make my own. The chewy crust is one of the hardest aspects of a “real” bagel to obtain. I found diastatic malt powder not only helped to obtain that very desirable characteristic, but also aided in getting the perfect browning of the crust. When making bagels, I add 40 grams of diastatic malt powder to the dry ingredients. I have also started adding malt powder to my French bread and to my Rustic Country bread, resulting in more authentic crust texture and appearance.“Hoosier Hill Farm Dry Malt (Diastatic) Baking Powder” is shipped in a clear plastic jar that can be stored in the refrigerator. The 6 ½” tall jar fits in most standard refrigerator shelves.Although diastatic malt powder is available online from other retailers, the $6 shipping cost – for 1 lb. - makes that pound of their product more expensive than “Hoosier Hill Farm Dry Malt (Diastatic) Baking Powder 1.5 lb”. At the time I purchased it, the cost for the 1 1/2 lb. jar was $10.99.I am very pleased to have found Hoosier Farm’s products on Amazon since their dry malt powder was exactly what I needed. Now, I can continue baking and enjoying my favorite breakfast treat and artisan breads.
