If the doughball is too dry

If the doughball appears flaky, or you hear your breadmaker begin to make “knocking” sounds, the doughbaII is too dry. To correct this problem, simply sprinkle in water,

a teaspoon at a time, until the doughball appears smooth, round and dry, and circles nicely in the pan. Be careful not to add too much water.

For Baking at High Altitudes

If you live above 3000 feet, you probably already know how to adjust other recipes like cakes and muffins.

Higher altitudes tend to:

•Make dough rise faster

•Make flour drier

To compensate for high altitude baking, we recommend the following:

If the dough is too dry

•Increase the amount of water to the recipe, sometimes as much as 2–4 tablespoons per cup.

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.
