          Text on high altitude bread


          -baking below






 "At high altitudes above 3,000 feet, dough rises faster. Therefore, when


 baking at high altitudes some experimentation is required. Follow the


 suggested guidelines. Use one suggestion at a time and remember to write


 down which suggestions work best for you.


 


 Guidelines:


 


 1. Reduce the amount of yeast by 25%. this will inhibit the bread from over


 rising.


 


 2. Increase salt by 25%. The bread will rise slower and have less of a


 tendency to sink.


 


 3. Watch your dough as it mixes. Flour stored at High Altitudes tends to be


 drier. You might add a few tablespoons of water, until the dough forms a


 nice ball."
