High Altitude Shortbread Recipes

BASIC HIGH-ALTITUDE BREAD

Steps:

• Combine water and yeast and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Combine flour, coconut oil, sugar, salt, and yeast mixture in a bowl. Knead until silky-smooth, about 15 minutes. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
• Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a loaf and place into the prepared pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Uncover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes for an Italian-style loaf or 45 minutes for a sandwich-style bread.

HIGH-ALTITUDE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
• Sift flour with sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in cornmeal.
• Beat eggs briefly in another bowl; add milk and melted butter. Pour into the flour mixture and stir just until moist. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cornbread comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes.
