I would love to try this inviting recipe! But I am confused about the malt. I assumed this meant malt powder, but the measure is in fluid ounces. Perhaps you can clarify. Thanks!
Hi Blair, Pure malt is as natural sweetener characterized by its high nutritional profile (protein, minerals, vitamins) and is often used instead of white granulated sugar. It is especially used commonly in bread baking. It is a liquid or a syrup and you can find it in most supermarkets or health food stores. You can choose among 100% pure brown rice, barley or corn malt. Happy baking! (here is a quick wikipedia link, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barley_malt_syrup)
Trying this. Is the middle supposed to pass the toothpick test before it’s done? Taking longer to get the middle done
