TIPS FOR BAKING AT HIGH ALTITUDE

TIPS FOR BAKING AT HIGH ALTITUDE

Higher altitudes can affect everything in your bake, from consistency to texture and even causing rupture of certain ingredients.

THE SCIENCE OF HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING

Bakes that may come out perfectly at sea level may suddenly over-rise or over-perform at high altitudes.

LEAVENING AGENTS IN BAKING AT HIGH ALTITUDES

Leavening agents such as baking soda and baking powder have less resistance in terms of air weight at higher altitudes.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

This means that your baked goods will rise more easily, and is why many altered recipes have significantly less leavening agent included.

REDUCING BAKING SODA AND POWDER

Reducing the amount of baking soda or powder is a must when baking at higher altitudes. However, you might have to learn by trial and error.
