I have been making bread for about 8 years, I have now started adding Diax and the results are incredible. the rising of the loaves now out weighs (excuse the pun) any of my previous results.

I bought this to try, mainly for altering crust texture. I regularly make a 3lb Milk Loaf to my own recipe, so I decided to trial the Diax by replacing a proportion of the strong white flour. A word of caution here: the instructions advise to use between 0.5g-1g per 100g of flour. I chose to make my first attempt using Diax at a rate of 1g per 100g of flour. Unfortunately at this level the crust became far too chewy – however the loaf did make excellent breadcrumbs. So my advice is to start with the minimum rate of 0.5g per 100g if you are looking to adapt a recipe and go from there.

I have found that I get better browning with it . As I have not done an experiment to test whether it does what it is supposed to do which is to improve the rise , I am not in a position to comment . However I am very happy with the rise I get and the taste never ceases to amaze me. I find that the less the dough is handled and the longer the proofing , the more tender the crumb. I enhance the flavour with Caraway seed.

I bought this because I had read somewhere that a small diastic malt extract would improve the taste of non-wheat based bread. I am T2 diabetic, and have found that my blood sugar urges after conventional bread. Unfortunately, 2 teaspoonfuls of diax made no difference to psallium based bread, which still tastes horrible.
