I have been using this for grain-free baking at one tsp per 2 1/2 c flour. Can someone tell me what the reason is for the proportion in the direction

If you're using it for grain free baking, you're not grain free any longer. This product is malted barley, which is a grain. If you want a more accurate measurement, add it at 0.5% to 1.0% by weight in flour already containing barley malt (most AP and Bread flours). Get a kitchen scale and weigh things out. For example, if you have 100 grams of flour you would add 0.5 grams to 1.0 grams. That is very important when working with such small quantities. Adding too much diastatic malt powder will ruin your dough, and too little will do no good.

Is this to be combined with the flour and dry ingredients or should it be combined with the wet ingredients first?

You can do it either way, but I think it would disburse more easily and uniformly if you mix it with the dry ingredients first.

How long will it Keep?

It is an organic food product; kept in a cool, dry location, and packaged so that insects can't sneak in, it should last for years! Hopefully, you will be using it so often to enhance your baked goods that the question won't apply! (Try it with a sourdough starter for bread, and give it 15 min. at 450 degrees -- you won't beleive the professional delicious crust it makes!

Is this good to use in bread machines? Also, I don't imagine it's kneaded (heehee) if you're using something like Almond or Coconut Flour? Thanks!

It's fine to use in a bread machine. I also don't imagine it's kneaded when baking exclusively with something like almond or coconut flour :-).

Historically The Best Grain

THIS is a great flour for making matzah and unleavened bread. Will be teaching a class using this flour. Great for gluten sensitivity. Was used 3500 years ago by the poor of the levant. Was considered more nutritious than wheat.

Impressed

Having been a follower of Breadtopia since almost it's inception, buying from them as well, was excited to see this Product and bought it "finally". I wasn't sure how and if it would make a difference for me as I am not the greatest at Breadmaking. Yes I do make edible loaves, and am told it's delicious, but never will taste like anything store bought. Yesterday I tried a Basic Bread Recipe that was in an old Magazine I had saved, for 2 loaves. I did add the Diastatic Malted Powder. I added 3/8 ths teaspoon for the 6 cups of Flour called for in the recipe, as well as 1/4 cup of Sourdough Starter mixed into the H20 and removing 1/4 cup of the H20. The dough went together well. Rising in my Proofer beautifully per the instructions. Baked up Higher than any other breads I have ever made. WOW yes the flavor was different more like Store bought Bread. One loaf is already gone. Each half of dough weighed out at 1.70 on the scale. More than a 1 1/2 lb. loaf of bread. I am over the top thrilled with Breadtopia's Diastatic Malted Powder. Thank you so much for the Quality and Care you put into your Products.

Best for increasing sourdough flavor

This malt is fresh and potent. Good for a year according to the date. You can add malt up to 1% of total flour weight to increase flavor. That would be 5 grams if you have a total of 500 grams of flour for the loaf. After all, sourdough is all about flavor! Malt really works. Breadtopia is a great and reliable company, with all the important hardware, flour and good tips and recipes for serious bakers. Check out their site for tons of inspiration.
