High Altitude Baking
« on: January 28, 2013, 09:43:33 AM »
Are there any adjustments I need to make when baking at high altitude?  Tried the Beanit Butter cookies from the FTS baking book and they came out very dry.  I even let them setup in the fridge over night after baking.

Siltz,
I live at altitude but haven't had any problem with my limited amount of baking.  The beanit butter cookies were flat and chewy but that's how I like them.

The coconut cake was perfect.  The flours are heavier than wheat flour and I think that helps.

I keep my peanut butter cookies in the freezer. Usually if a recipe is dry its overcooked.Either the oven is too hot or cooked too long. When I wrote the Fat to Skinny Bakery Book I was in North Carolina at 4000 ft elevation.I have made the same recipes in Florida at 0 ft elevation with no adjustments. You can also try adding a little oil for moisture ;)
