What it is

Malted wheat flour is made from wheat that has been germinated (malted) and then dried and ground. This process increases the natural sugar content and enzyme activity of the flour.

Why it's used

Malted wheat flour is often used in baking to improve the flavor, texture, and crust color of bread, rolls, and other baked goods. Its enzymes help yeast produce carbon dioxide, aiding in leavening, and its sugars contribute to browning.

Health notes

Malted wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar ingredients, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal dietary levels.

Allergen info

Malted wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
