Steeping rye malt & flaked rye for an extract beer

[ahpsp]

I'm brewing an extract saison with rye tonight. At the LHBS yesterday they only had one pound of rye malt, which I picked up, but they also had a pound of flaked rye that I got. I did not get any base grains. It seems from my subsequent reading that flaked rye needs to be mashed. Does the pound of rye malt I bought have sufficient diastatic power to convert the starches in all (or some) of the flaked rye I have?

Rye malt is a base grain, so it should work.

Anything that is malted has enzymes. Kilning destroys the enzymes, so lighter base malts (2Row) have more than darker ones (Munich), and super dark malts have these destroyed (Choc, Black Patent).
