Cooking Tips
High Altitude Cooking
Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher alti-
tudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. therefore, recipe
adjustments should be made in some cases. In general,
no recipe adjustment is necessary for yeast-risen baked
goods, although allowing the dough or batter to rise twice
before the final pan rising develops a better flavor. Try
making the adjustments below for successful recipes. Take
note of the changes that work best and mark your reci-
pes accordingly. you may also consult a cookbook on high
altitude cooking for specific recommendations.
