High Altitude Baking
« on: January 15, 2011, 08:04:59 PM »
Are they any adjustments when using flaxseed for high altitude baking? I'm only 3500 feet, but I pretty much have to follow high altitude directions for things like cakes, breads, cookies, etc. I was just curious about flaxseed (e.g. Izzet's bread).

Thanks!

Okay, thanks. Yeah, I was thinking it might be longer, but didn't know if I should use just a little extra flax like I normally have to with flour. I'm thinking of making some bread today. TY!

I didn't and Izze's bread turned out really well. Thanks for letting me know if there was a change or not, Umpa. When I moved to MT from CA, I couldn't figure out why nothing I baked was turning out. Most high altitude conversions say for 5000' or higher and I knew we weren't that high. Once I started following them though, things started baking properly. Go figure. Guess we're 'just high enough' to mess things up!
