    From cshenk@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 13 23:11:21 2024
    Daniel, Graham and I talking bread. It was bread day tpday sp made
    some.

    It's a basic white. Not stellar in looks but looks good enough for a
    3-4 day use.

    Here is the initial ball.

    Today was a bread-baking day for me, too!

    300g whole wheat flour
    400g strong bread flour
    1 Tbsp salt
    1 tsp diastatic malt
    500g water
    75g avocado oil.

    It fits well in a 4 inch by 12 inch bread pan.

    The boule looks good, but the freeform loaf looks a bit wild.

    Interesting! Is the diastatic malt a type of yeast?

    Oops!
    I omitted mentioning the 1 Tbsp of yeast.

    My husband likes a softer, fluffier loaf for toast and sandwiches, and
    the diastatic malt helps with that. I also include it with the very
    buttery, eggy, sweet doughs I use when making coffee cakes.

    Is that the powder? We sometimes use the sticky stuff
    in jars, for baking.
    As a child I had a spoonful every day in winter, so
    did my kids.

    Yes, it's a powder, containing an enzyme which assists the yeast.
    Ordinary malt powder doesn't have that enzyme, nor does the dark malt
    syrup. I use the dark malt when making rye bread.

    Ah, acts like buttermilk then. I just got some. Barley based.

    I read up on it a bit. Mine gets here tommorrow and is made from
    sprouted barley then ground to a powder. I'll give it a trial! Thanks
    for the tip.

    I recently bought some WW flour made from sprouted wheat. I reckon that
    that should work the same way.
