IF THE DOUGHBALL Is Too WET
During the second kneading cycle, check the consistency of the doughball. If the doughball appears sticky or wet, like pancake- batter,
sprinkle in flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the doughball appears smooth, round and dry, and circles nicely in the pan. Sprinkle a lit- tle more flour if needed.

| Higher altitudes tend to: |

|
•make dough rise faster • make flour drier
To compensate for high altitude baking, we recommend the follow- ing:
IF THE DOUGH IS Too DRY
•increase the amount of water to the recipe, sometimes as much as
IF THE BREAD RISES TOO HIGH
• reduce the amount of yeast: For each teaspoon of yeast, try reducing the yeast by 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.
•reduce the amount of sugar: For each tablespoon of sugar, reduce the amount by 1 to 2 teaspoons
