This is a baking ingredient from Hoosier Hill Farm, supplied in a 25LB pack. Malt feeds the yeast and darkens the crust, which is why bagel recipes insist on it.
It earns its place in bread, bagels and anything wanting a malty crust and better browning. At this size it is a restaurant or serious-hobby quantity rather than a household one, so check your storage and your turnover before ordering — bulk powders keep well sealed and poorly once opened and left.
Hoosier Hill Farm sells bulk baking and cooking ingredients direct rather than through grocery distribution, which is why the pack sizes run larger than a supermarket shelf.
