Organic wheat malt
Organic wheat malt
If you want to make really good puff pastry for your pizzas, you can use wheat malt flour. Then you add 10 grams of wheat malt per 1000 grams of regular flour (so 1% of the flour quantity), and you get a noticeably different result.
The malt creates a more complex flavor. It's hard to describe, but the dough simply tastes better! Also, the addition of malt often results in a browner crust on the pizza, which is really nice.
Wheat malt is produced by malting wheat grains. This releases the wheat's natural sugars and creates a greater sweetness. The malt therefore also affects the fermentation process, where you can get airier edges thanks to greater fermentation.
To be completely honest, there are not huge differences between different wheat malts, but here you get an organic, high-quality product that is also relatively locally grown in Germany. You also avoid strange additives.
