Does altitude affect cooking instructions?
Yes, at higher elevations, water boils at a LOWER temperature, thus requiring a longer cooking time. • For baked goods, add ⅓ cup flour and increase baking time as needed. For best results in altitudes above 9500 feet, bake breads as mini loaves or muffins. • Grease your baking pans thoroughly to keep your breads from sticking. • Increase cooking time slightly, as needed. • Use smaller pans whenever possible. • Consult your local County Extension office for more information.
