Diastatic Malt Flours: 

It is one of the most commonly used flours which  contain naturally occurring active enzymes that function as natural dough conditioners in yeast fermented dough. The enzymatic digestion of starch increases fermentation, relaxes the dough, decreases proofing time, increases volume, enhances browning and softens the crumb. 

Not only homebrewers or baking lovers but also the professional bakers find it useful for providing uniform and improved fermentation and improving machinability and extensibility. Also the malted barley is a natural humectant that helps extend product shelf life. The major work that this type of flour does is promoting a strong rise, adding a mild natural malt flavour and enhancing appealing crust browning which is good for Baked Goods, Bagels, Crackers, Pizza Crust, Pretzels. Diastatic Malt Flours are used with dry ingredients and use only a small amount.

It is the type of flour that is made from dried and crushed barley and is often used to make barley bread as well as other types of breads such as flat bread and yeast breads. The varieties this flour has are coarse and fine in which barley groats are ground into coarse barley flour, while pearl barley is ground into fine barley flour. Furthermore, patent barley flour is a finer barley flour that is ground to a higher extent than fine barley flour. The specifications of barley flour are that its humidity is  less than 13% with no diastatic powder and no enzymatic activity.
