Question

How do you store freshly-made bread at high-altitude?

Community Answer

You can put it in a bread bag like it is kept in stores, or in a bread box on the counter. You can also slice, wrap, and freeze it so it will last longer.

Question

Shouldn't I add to the baking temperature, rather than subtracting for higher altitudes? Can you explain #5 in the article more clearly?

Community Answer

Yes, I noticed that too. Everywhere else it says to increase the temperature, so I think this is a mistake. I find better results in my cakes when I increase the temperature.

Question

What can you do if you cannot seem to get the texture right?

Community Answer

Adding salt can usually change the texture of your dish drastically even in small amounts. Add a little bit at a time to test, but don't be afraid to add more if it isn't quite right.

Question

How do I cook brotchen at high altitude?

Community Answer

It is the same as any other bread at high altitude, so you adjust the recipe slightly. If you made brotchen before, or on a regular basis, you know what the dough texture should be after rising. When baking, adjust the temperature, check on it while baking and make sure it is completely baked.

Question

Would adjustments be the same for no-knead bread?

Community Answer

From my experience, yes, I would make the same adjustments with no-knead bread as I would the standard kneading bread.
