What it is

Active malt flour is made from malted barley that has been treated with enzymes. This process breaks down starches into simpler sugars, making it more readily available for yeast to use during fermentation.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add active malt flour to baked goods, especially bread and pizza dough, to help yeast activate and produce carbon dioxide. This leads to better dough rising, a softer crumb, and a richer flavor and color in the finished product.

Health notes

Active malt flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated malt flour and related substances.

Allergen info

Active malt flour is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
