Cooking Tips

High Altitude Cooking

Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, 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 following adjustments for successful recipes. Take note of the changes that work best and mark your recipes accordingly.
