## Description

The proof is in the pudding...or the frosting, or the batter, or whichever confectionary creation makes you want to lick the spoon.
When you shop Modern Mountain products, you don't just pack your pantry with potential. You also support the environment with our
pledge, reduce your plastic footprint with our
certification, and help back budding bakesmiths with our
fund. It all comes down to nurturing people and the planet.
And to us?
We’re in the business of helping the Earth (It’s the only planet we know of with chocolate!). So we donate 1% of our annual sales directly to environmental organizations with our same commitment to sustainability.
We think everyone deserves a piece of the pie. Which is why we’re dedicated to funding the dreams of budding bakers with our annual scholarship for students pursuing degrees in Baking & Pastry Arts. We’re privileged to invest in the next generation and we can’t wait to see (and taste!) what they bake up.
We know the highest quality packaging requires its fair share of...well, plastic. So we offset all our plastic waste by removing that same amount from the environment that we contribute. A good deed like that deserves a cookie (or five)!
We like to let nature do its thing. That means no genetically modified ingredients go into any of the products we peddle. Just flour that’s been left untouched. We’re hands off! Unless it’s time to knead some dough.
Have we mentioned we care about people and the planet? And sourcing Fair Trade Certified products whenever possible shows our commitment to both! Because supporting transparent supply chains and prioritizing fair wages for farmers shouldn’t just be the icing on the cake.
Life is sweeter together, so let’s get started! Preheat the oven! Grease those pans! Sneak a chocolate chip or two! Let’s get baking! We’ve got a feeling this is going to be a cakewalk.

## Features

- IMPROVE DOUGH RISE: No more whole wheat baking that falls flat. Diastatic malt powder acts as a food source for yeast (the microbes responsible for dough rise) giving them the fuel they need to succeed in creating gorgeously leavened loaves. Made from 100% pure malted barley flour, diastatic malt powder raises the bar when it comes to bread rise.
- CREATE CRAVEWORTHY CRUMB AND TEXTURE: Whole wheat dough that delivers and doesn’t crumble under pressure (but crumbles in all the right ways) is possible with your new favorite non-GMO sourced dough conditioner. Our barley malt powder utterly transforms dough texture. Breads become chewy in the center and crispy at the crusts; everything you want from that perfect loaf.
- TAKE TASTE TO THE NEXT LEVEL: There’s something about your bakes with diastatic malt powder for bread that you can’t quite put your finger on…but your tongue can tell the difference! Because the subtle flavor that ensues is somehow nutty, rich, malty, and fermented, all at the same time. Taste profiles that emerge with just a dash of diastatic malt powder are surprisingly sensational and so good you’ll mistake them for store-bought.
- PREPARE PROFESSIONAL QUALITY BREADS FROM SCRATCH: Our diastatic malt powder for baking is an overall dough improver that, with just a small amount, can take your baking from amateur to artisan. It’s your new secret weapon for breads, pizza, pretzels, bagels, and more that feel, taste, and look like they cost top dollar. Tell your friends or keep it to yourself! Either way, with our dry malt powder you’ll be the best home baker on the block.
- BAKE A DIFFERENCE: This isn’t baking or business as usual. When you shop with us, you support the environment with our 1% for the Planet pledge, reduce your plastic footprint with our Plastic Neutral certification, and help back budding bakesmiths with our Rise Up Baking Scholarship fund. It all comes down to nurturing people and the planet.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huge Air pockets
*by  on Reviewed in the United States June 10, 2024*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it!

**Diastatic Malt Powder (7oz) – 100% Malted Barley Flour****Rating: 4.8 / 5****Overview**This 7oz Diastatic Malt Powder is a secret-weapon ingredient for home bakers looking to achieve bakery-quality crust, crumb, and rise in handcrafted breads, bagels, and pizza doughs. Made entirely from 100% Non-GMO malted barley flour, this powder contains active enzymes that break down starch into fermentable sugars, fueling yeast activity and delivering a deep, golden-brown crust with a distinct, rich flavor profile.---### Key Specifications & Performance| Feature | Details & Baking Impact || --- | --- || **Ingredients** | **100% Pure Malted Barley Flour**—Non-GMO sourced with no added sugars, fillers, or artificial anti-caking agents. || **Enzyme Activity** | **Diastatic (Active)**—contains natural alpha and beta amylase enzymes that convert dough starches into simple sugars. || **Net Weight** | **7 oz (198g)**—packaged in a resealable pouch designed to protect active enzymes from moisture and air exposure. || **Baking Benefits** | Accelerates dough rise, improves oven spring, relaxes gluten for easier shaping, and promotes deep caramelization. || **Primary Uses** | Bagels, sourdoughs, artisan hearth breads, pretzel doughs, and long-fermentation pizza crusts. |---### Pros & Cons**Pros:*** **Superior Rise & Oven Spring:** Active enzymes give yeast a steady supply of food, resulting in stronger, more consistent proofing and dramatic volume in the oven.* **Gorgeous Crust Color:** The extra simple sugars created by the malt promote Maillard browning, yielding a deep mahogany crust without making the bread overly sweet.* **Softer Crumb & Better Texture:** Helps retain moisture in the crumb, extending the shelf life and freshness of baked loaves.* **Highly Concentrated:** A little goes a very long way; a 7oz bag yields dozens of artisan loaves.**Cons:*** **Easy to Overuse:** Using too much can make the dough overly sticky, gummy, or collapse during baking due to excessive starch breakdown.* **Specific Application:** Designed for yeast-leavened doughs; not intended for quick breads, cakes, or non-yeasted pastries.---### Baker's Usage & Dosing GuideDiastatic malt powder is powerful, so precision is key when adding it to your dry ingredients:* **Standard Dosage:** Use **0.5% to 1%** of your total flour weight. This translates to roughly **$\frac{1}{2}$ to 1 teaspoon per 3 cups (approx. 500g) of flour**.* **Long Fermentations:** If doing a cold-proofed pizza dough or multi-day sourdough, stick to the lower end ($\frac{1}{2}$ tsp) to prevent the dough from getting too slack over time.---### VerdictThe **7oz Diastatic Malt Powder** is an essential upgrade for any serious home baker or pizza enthusiast. By naturally boosting yeast vigor and crust coloration, it bridges the gap between home-kitchen results and professional artisan bakery quality at a very minimal cost per batch.
