I'm not an expert on high altitude baking, but I can tell you some about bread. Use the least amount of flour necessary to get a smooth dough. too much flour will make the bread tough. knead it well, enough to form a gluten window when you stretch out a piece of dough. Good yeast of course is important, also be careful with adding the salt, it can kill your yeast

Before I start making bread, I turn my oven on for one minute and immediately turn it off. When I'm done kneading the bread, I check the oven's temperature...I like it around 80-90 degrees, and let the dough rise in there. Some of these newer ovens will heat up very fast, so the 1 minute warm-up may make the oven too warm so be sure to check it.
