Making Roasted Barley

[RWeather3]

Can you make roasted barley by baking flaked barley?

No, the flaking process changes the structure of the starches.

You can make cheap roasted barley by buying pearl barley at the grocery and roasting that. I use a cast-iron skillet on medium heat, and a whisk to agitate. Stir that for about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how dark you want it to be.
