I do not make very dense breads...rye is probably the densest that I have made. I use this when I make baguettes and they come out light and fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. You might want to get a smaller amount to try with the types of bread you make to see how it goes. I've found that baking bread is all trial and error but that's what makes it so much fun when it comes out perfectly. **Q: Can I make barley malt syrup from dry malt powder?** A: From what I've researched, barely malt syrup is made straight from sprouting barely so I don't think dry malt powder can make it. However, the two can be substituted for each other in some recipes. Hope this helps! **Q: Definitely no wheat in this?** A: Hi, thank you for your question! While there is no wheat in the ingredient list, all Scratch products are packaged in facilities that also process wheat products. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great addition to home made bread! *by D***P on January 19, 2026* I make a lot of bread for my family.

This Malt powder improved the flavor of my semolina bread loaf. It is much tastier, has a good crust, the color is richer than my usual bread machine loaf without the addition of 1-1/2 teaspoon of Scratch Diastatic Malt Powder added near the end of the first knead cycle. My search is over and I am extremely happy with this purchase. I have always loved freshly baked bread over store bought, but this malt powder takes bread baking to a new level. ## Frequently Bought Together - Scratch Diastatic Malt Powder for Baking - (2LB) Dried Barley Malt for Baking Bread - Bread Improver - Premium Baking Ingredients for Breads, Pizzas, Pretzels, Desserts, Shakes and More - Scratch Premium Dough Conditioner - (2 LB) All Grain Bread Improver For Making Dough - Dough Enhancer for Bread to Improve Texture and Longer Lasting Bread - Anthony's Vital Wheat Gluten, 4 lb, Vegan, Non GMO, Keto Friendly, Low Carb --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/329749968-diastatic-malt-powder-for-baking-2lb-dried-barley-malt-baking](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/329749968-diastatic-malt-powder-for-baking-2lb-dried-barley-malt-baking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
