Just got my hands on some toasted malt wheat flakes
Ive been dying to try malted wheat flakes and found these toasted wheat flakes with malt in a local shop. Now i need a recipe...any ideas? I get my flour from a UK mill called Dove farm and they do a delicious malthouse flour that has flakes in it but im looking to make something else...anyone out there with a recipe, or even the amount i should use...i presume i just toss them in to my mix?

It is a lovely recipe that uses Oat flakes. However I regularly play around with the flour and soaker. Works very well so far. Just swap the oat soaker with the toasted wheat flakes.
sounds good Lechem ill check it out thanks...i just checked it out and realised i have it bookmarked...it looks like a keeper :)
Most (UK) mills have their "malted wheat with flakes" type flour - aka. Granary, but Granary is trademarked by Hovis (or whoever owns them these days), so no-one can call it that. Doves and Shipton have their Malthouse, Stoates Maltstar, FWP Matthews have their Cotswolds Crunch and so on... Some also have rye flakes and barley malt - there's a right multitude of mixes out there!
I used to buy bags of malted wheat flakes and used them when making wholemeal loaves, roll the shaped "log" in them before putting in the tin to prove. (and I then called it my wholemeal crunch loaf) So consider putting them on-top of a loaf, but make sure you don't bake it too hot else it might burn.

Thanks Gordon - Ive used the doves malthouse flour as I can get that here in Ireland and it's delicious but famcy the idea of playing with flakes...I also love who so might do as you say on the next loaf - thanks
