Thanks so much for the visual on how diastatic malt affects bread. i've never used it, although i have a recipe for it in an old cookbook of my Mom's. Sounds like i need to take that out and make myself some diastatic malt! Since i bake whenever possible with 100% whole wheat, i like finding little tips to help my bread rise better. Vital wheat gluten is also very helpful!
Glad we could show how the malt really does make a difference. I have been out for a few months, but think I'll be picking some up soon too!
