Baking At High Altitudes; Measurement Equivalency Chart - Sunbeam 5891 User Manual With Recipes

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 Tbsp. per cup.
If the Bread Rises Too High
reduce the amount of yeast. For each tsp. of yeast,
try reducing the yeast by 1/8 to 1/4 tsp.
reduce the amount of sugar. For each Tbsp. of sugar,
reduce the amount by 1 to 2 tsp.
