Diastatic malt powder is used in baking to help convert some of the starches in flour into sugars that the bread yeast can eat. In theory it can give you more a more active rise and better texture in the bread.

If the flour is good , no need to add extra enzymes , use regular  malt extract  available at homebrew  shops to add extra flavor to the bread.
