About Barley malt flour

Barley malt flour is flour made by milling malted barley. It is used in baking and other foods to contribute malt flavour and, depending on the product and use, to affect dough or fermentation. It is distinct from ordinary barley flour made from unmalted grain.

The flour is generally fine and tan to brown, with a sweet, toasted cereal aroma and flavour. It is sold dry as a powder; the degree of malting, roasting and milling can vary between products.
