malted barely flour
I cannot find malted barely flour anywhere! I have seen it in grain form, I guess I could just mill it? Anyways I am in Seattle if anybody knows where to get some already milled let me know!
I am happy to say that Cliff's in Caldwell, Idaho does carry malted barley flour! Yay for localism!!

I found it easier to make my own - but use wheat instead as finding malted or worse, finding barley that can sprout without having a hull is virtually impossible.
I sprout it in the oven with the lamp on (78 degrees, perfect temp) for 2-3 days until the sprout is the length of the original berry, then dry out using by pointing a heat lamp at the tray for a day or two. When dry, I grind in my whisper mill, which is what I use to mill my flour. The result is a fine powder that is sweet and can be substituted for malted barley. cheaper and easier if you can do the grinding. I add 1 tsp per loaf, and a touch of honey, works out well...
What process do you use for sprouting? Do you use cotton or a glass jar?

Not sure if you've got any King Aurthur Flour in your area or not but they claim that all of their flour has malted barley as an additive -- found a comment from them claiming that on Google..
Thank you evrybody!
Have you tried Central Market in Shoreline or the Ballard Market? I'm pretty sure I got malted barley flour at Central Market in their excellent bulf foods section.
What I'm having trouble finding is malt syrup in Seattle - any suggestions there?
