Notes:
The recipe says add 4 cups wheat flours (thats 6 cups total), but i think because its so dry here, if you add anything more than maybe 5.2 total..your bread will becomes too dense.
so, just knead till the dough stops being sticky. its ok if you add less than what the recipe calls for.,or rather, add flour till the dough stops sticking.
Another thing to keep in mind when baking bread at high altitude is .. keep the oven temperature lower (I kept it 10 deg lower) than the recipe calls for. But bake for as long as the recipe calls for.
To get a softer crust, I made the following changes:
ReplyDelete1) Instead of adding 1.5 cups of water and 0.5 cups of milk, I added 1.5 cups of milk and 0.5 cups of water.
2) Before placing the loaves in the oven, brush them with melted butter.
