Good morning everyone! Had a quick moment to say hi.

Working in the yard today. Hubs turned on our irrigation, getting ready to start mowing and mowing and mowing some more...lol

It's beautiful today. We're cleaning out flowers beds & pruning some shrubs.

Lavender is all cleaned up and will hopefully bloom profusely this year.

It's getting to be that time of year for sure! DH and his crew are starting in on the busiest time of year mowing at the golf course. Our yard here at home isn't ready for it yet, but it's coming!

It’s an hour for us also, one way. Sam’s is 2+ hours. If I could have groceries delivered that would be a dream.

I use prime grocery delivery. I get to shop from Food Max, Save Mart and Whole Foods.

Is there sugar in it?

Good Question!

White Sugar is actually bad for yeast, which is one of the reasons sweetbreads like cinnamon rolls rise slower. Salt is a regulator but does not kill yeast. Contrary to what we were taught, adding yeast to water and sugar is not a good way to proof the yeast before adding it to the dough. With the instant yeast, I do not proof anymore.

Yeast likes to eat whatever is in the malt powder. The type I use is diastolic malt powder, which is different from non diastolic, the one used for milk shakes.

I got a better answer from Google:
Diastatic malt is a natural baking ingredient made from sprouted, dried, and ground barley (or wheat) containing active enzymes (amylase) that convert starches into sugars.

It helps yeast digest the sugars in the flour which helps the dough rise.
