things people ask

• Can I use a teaspoon of barley meal as a roux for one serving?
  Yes — a teaspoon (around 3 grams) cooked with an equal volume of butter or oil thickens about half a cup of milk or stock into a single-serving sauce. The grit dissolves more than you'd think once it cooks for five minutes, leaving a faint nutty background. It's a tidy way to use barley flavour without committing a whole cup to a recipe.
• Does a teaspoon make a difference in a yeasted dough?
  In a small home loaf, a teaspoon of barley meal — roughly 3 grams against 300-plus grams of wheat flour — is below the threshold where you'll taste it, but it's enough to feed the yeast a touch of extra maltose and speed early fermentation. Bakers sometimes add a teaspoon to pizza or focaccia dough as a flavour primer rather than a structural ingredient.
• How accurate is teaspoon-measuring for coarse meal?
  Less accurate than for powder. The grits don't level cleanly — a heaped teaspoon of barley meal can hit 5 grams while a struck-level teaspoon comes in closer to 2.5. For seasoning-scale uses that variance doesn't matter, but if you're following a baking percentage or a celiac-adjacent recipe where every gram counts, a 0.1-gram scale will save you guessing.
