So, how much malt powder are you using, please?

I've made a batch of pizza dough using just under 1 tbsp of malt per cup of flour. G/f & I agreed that it's a very worthwhile addition, but could certainly use a little more. I'm going to bump it up to about 2 tbsp. per cup for the next run.

The directions call for 1 tsp of malt for every 3-4 cups of flour, which correlates with what the pizza sites/forums suggest, so that's what I'm using.
