things people ask

• How much bread does a tablespoon of barley malt flour treat?
  At the standard 0.5 percent dose for diastatic malt, 10 grams is enough for about 2 kilograms of flour, which is roughly three to four standard sourdough boules or six bagel batches of a dozen each. At the lower 0.1 percent dose used when your flour is already slightly malted, one tablespoon stretches to around 10 kilograms — close to a full sack.
• Can I substitute a tablespoon of barley malt flour for malt syrup in a bagel recipe?
  Roughly, yes. A tablespoon of diastatic barley malt flour gives similar enzymatic and browning effects to about a tablespoon of barley malt syrup, though the syrup also contributes moisture and sweetness you will need to account for. If the recipe calls for malt syrup as the main sweetener rather than as an enzyme, swap is not one-to-one and you should add a touch of honey or sugar.
• Is a tablespoon ever too much in a single loaf?
  For diastatic malt, yes — easily. Adding a tablespoon (10 grams) to a single 500-gram loaf is a 2 percent dose, four times the upper limit. Excess alpha-amylase keeps degrading starch into sugar during proofing, leaving you with a slack, sticky dough, a gummy crumb, and an over-dark crust. Non-diastatic is more forgiving since it is just flavor, but a tablespoon will still taste assertively malty.
