High-altitude areas (areas that are 3,500 feet or higher above sea level) will require some changes in the bread machine recipe. Air pressure is lower, so the bread will rise higher. Start by reducing the amount of yeast by ¼ teaspoon; if the loaf is still too high, reduce the yeast more the next time.
Flour dries out more quickly at high altitude, so check the dough during the kneading cycle to be sure it isn't too dry. Add water, about a teaspoon at a time, until the dough forms a smooth ball. You may want to check The Proof Is in the Dough on pages 16 and 17 to see how the dough should look during the kneading cycle.
Check your bread machine's use-and-care book for more high-altitude adjustments, or call your local United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Extension Service office. You will find the Extension Service office listed in the phone book under "County Government."
