Recipe Summary Basic High-Altitude Bread

Very easy bread recipe that I use for sandwich bread, pizza dough, and even naan! I live in Colorado Springs at an altitude of about 5,500 feet. This recipe works really well for me.

Ingredients | Basic Squash Tips

1 cup warm water (100 degrees F/40 degrees C)

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

3 cups bread flour

¼ cup coconut oil, melted

1 tablespoon white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

Directions

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.

If using a bread machine, add the dry ingredients, then start the machine on the dough cycle and slowly add coconut oil and the yeast mixture.

If you are using a clay baker, soak the baker in water while preheating the oven. Bake the bread for 30 minutes with the cover on, and bake uncovered for 15 additional minutes to get a nice brown crust on top.

I also use this recipe for naan (just roll out into 1/4-inch-thick discs and fry on a griddle) or pizza (skip the second rising and just roll it out). I use coconut oil or olive oil around the edge of the pizza dough to give the crust a nice golden brown.

Use 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast and a bit more salt if using this recipe at a low altitude.
