Application of barley malt powder in pizza dough

Barley malt powder can be used as an ingredient in pizza dough to improve the flavor and texture of the crust. Here is a recipe for pizza dough that incorporates barley malt powder:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon barley malt powder
• 1 cup warm water

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, salt, and barley malt powder.
2. Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone.
6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a round or rectangular shape.
7. Top the pizza with your desired toppings and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

The addition of barley malt powder enhances the sweetness and nuttiness of the pizza crust, while also providing a crispier texture. The resulting pizza dough is flavorful, tender, and easy to work with.
