Are all malts created equal of should I use a different kind for baking and drinking? Any help appreciated! Stumble It! In three different stores! I've even had people help me look there. I see that on the internet but I can't find it in the real world. You would think it would be with Qwik Malt powder is made from wheat flour and another grain, usually barley. On the other hand, malted milk powder is malt powder with milk solids added to it. Diastatic malt powder contains active enzymes that help convert starch into sugar.
This action can accelerate the rising process and make bread rise more quickly. The easiest way to incorporate malted milk powder is to add it to a milkshake, about three tablespoons per serving. Examples include malt vinegar, malted milk, malted beverages like beer and malted syrup. Barley malt extract is used to enhance flavours in foods like breakfast cereals and chocolates.

Black strap molasses sounds like a good one. I will look for it as well. I didn't substitute powder for liquid, but I have substituted molasses for liquid malt at a one to one ratio. I found the powder a bit difficult to use because it has to be kept away from all moisture and humidity.
You should be able to find molasses in a regular market and I find that the flavor works very well in bread. If you really want to use the malt, I very much recommend the malt extract over the powder, especially if you plan to store the leftover powder.
In case it isn't clear, I refer to both syrup and powder forms as malt extract. That is what they are properly called but it could be confusing. Yes, directly from King Arthur. What they sent me is Suzanne's Specialties Organic Barley Malt which can also be purchased directly from them as well link provided According to their site, some of their products can be purchased at Whole Foods.
However, I wasn't able to find the malt extract at my local WF's store but you may have better luck than I. Here is a link that might be useful: Suzanne's Specialities. As mentioned, don't use hopped malt extract syrup, but also don't use what's called 'diastatic malt extract'--that contains enzymes which will convert starches to soluble and fermentable sugars.
That's a good thing when making brewskis but not necessarily good when baking. Something else to consider is that the syrup form of malt extract is terribly messy to handle, It's extremely thick and sticky. The powdered type is way easier to measure out and it's easy to transfer to another container for storage. The syrup would not be easy to measure or transfer and you would need to store any surplus in the refrigerator.
I have stored dry malt extract for extended periods of time in a closed container at normal room temperature. I never had a problem. I have had unopened cans of the syrup go bad several times when I did not use them right away. I would not consider molasses to be a good substitute for malt.. Malt is what gives malted milk, malted milk balls and Ovaltine their flavor. If you can imagine those things flavored with molasses, I think you will understand how different molasses is from malt.
I use both diastatic and non-diastatic malt powder in my baking. I buy both from King Arthur's as well as their malt syrup. The malt syrup doesn't keep well as has been stated, and must be refrigerated once opened. The diastatic malt powder is a living thing that does convert starches to sugars; but it's these sugars that feed the yeast and produce's tasty breads.
To be effective you must slow ferment in the fridge overnight for the process to be effective. Non-Diastatic is "dead" and therefore doesn't require a longer time to be effective. It is used more for producing a nice colored crust on breads and for making bagels! One word of advice, from experience, don't spill any non-diastatic. I once dropped a container and we spent days trying to clean it up. It draws moisture from the air and produces the stickyest floors you've ever encountered.
It took repeated washings to get it all off the floor!
