For practical purposes, yes. They may not be exactly the same, but generally, should be able to use interchangeably(when being used as a minor ingredient for it's diastatic properties).
What recipe(s) are you interested in?
Hi, thanks for the response. I have been baking for a while, but just got a copy of Ciril Hitz book.
The first of Ciril's formulas that I came across (baguette) had this option & I had never heard of it, so wanted to try it.
