Other Uses for this Product

Liquid malt extract is a thick, natural malt syrup made by concentrating the sweet liquid from malted grain. It is very similar to the barley malt syrup that bagel shops and bread bakers use, and it works as a malty sweetener and flavoring much like honey or molasses. This Golden Light type is pale with a mild, clean malt flavor. It adds flavor, a little sweetness and better crust color without noticeably darkening white bread, bagels, rolls, cakes or milkshakes. Good fits for this type: bagels, white and sandwich breads, pizza dough, soft pretzels, sugar cookies and malted milkshakes.

Bagels and Bread

For bagels, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons into the boiling water before poaching for a glossy, chewy, well-browned crust, and add about a tablespoon to the dough. In bread, roll and pizza dough it adds a mild malt sweetness, a richer golden crust and extra food for the yeast.

Sweetening and Baking

Use it in place of honey or molasses in breads, granola, granola bars, oatmeal cookies and muffins for a toasty, caramel-like malt flavor. A spoonful also sweetens hot cereal, and it can be stirred into a milkshake for a malty flavor.

Glazes and Sauces

It browns and caramelizes well, so it makes a good glaze for ham, pork, chicken and roasted root vegetables, and it adds body and depth to barbecue sauce, baked beans and marinades.

How Much to Use

• Replacing honey or molasses: use about the same amount. Malt syrup is less sweet, so add a little more or keep some of the honey if you want it sweeter.
• Replacing sugar: a common rule of thumb is about 1 1/4 cups of malt syrup per cup of sugar, with about 1/4 cup less liquid elsewhere in the recipe.
• Bread and pizza dough: about 1 to 2 tablespoons per loaf. Bagel water: 1 to 2 tablespoons per large pot of boiling water.
• Replacing dry malt extract: liquid is about 80% solids and dry is about 97%, so use about 5 parts liquid for every 4 parts dry by weight and cut the recipe's water slightly.
• These are general starting points. Recipes vary, so adjust to taste.

Storage

Keep the drum closed between uses and store it in a cool place out of direct sun. Malt syrup slowly darkens with age, which deepens its flavor a little, so plan to use it steadily. Warming makes it easier to pump and pour.

Good to Know

Made from malted barley, so it contains gluten and is not suitable for gluten-free diets.

For Bakeries and Food Businesses

The 180 lb drum is meant for commercial bakeries, bagel shops and food producers that use malt syrup in volume and have the equipment to dispense from a drum. This drum can't ship by FedEx or USPS, so it is picked up at our store or shipped by pallet.
