Hello From My High Altitude Kitchen

Introductions and Ideas

I am once again working on my bread baking skills. But this time the big difference is Altitude-5500ft above sea level. Now that I've found this fantastic web site I would appreciate any info how to adjust your recipes accordingly.
I have been going over and over why my attempts at Floyd's Italian and Ciabata Breads came out too dense and cakelike and the only conclusion I think would be an altitude factor.
I like to cook and bake Italian breads,pastries, and regional dishes from our family's
Albanese heritage. I hope to share some of these in the near future.
Next attempt Zaatar Flatbrea

Hello,

My name is Gordon Hayes. I live in SW Indiana with my wife and two daughters. I am 45+.

I have been baking bread since I was around 15, though not continuously. I have been cooking since I was 13. I have to say that baking bread is my favorite.

I bake mostly whole-grain and sourdough breads. I bake the Challah bread for our small Messianic synagogue in nearby Evansville, IN. I mix whole wheat and bread flour about 50-50 for this. Am going to try naturally leavened Challah bread soon.

Hello!

I have been lurking on this site for a while now, but have finally started baking again. Now, I feel like an intro is in order since I've started posting on the boards. :)

My name is Chris. I'm 30 years young. I have four children; Alexis, Jake, Grace, and Owen. I bake fairly frequently - when I'm feeling up to it. In the last few days, I've made french bread, whole wheat rolls, and blueberry scones.

Just wanted to introduce myself. As my name shows, I am a sourdough addict. I have been baking sourdough for about 5 years now (wild yeast only). I have 6 different starters that I keep going. Sourdough is so fascinating to me and I keep learning new things every day.

I love this forum and the way it is set up. The people all seem very nice and friendly. I only wish it were more active. We need more people on here!
