About Barley malt flour
Barley malt flour is made from barley that has been malted, meaning it was germinated and then dried, and some of the starches have converted to sugars in the process. It is used in very small amounts as a dough conditioner in commercial bread baking, where it feeds yeast and contributes color and flavor to the crust. The carbohydrate content is high, and while fiber is present, this is not a flour anyone uses for its nutrition. The flavor is sweet and distinctly malty. Home bakers add a teaspoon or two to bread dough; more than that and the sweetness overwhelms.
