- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 packet Baker's Yeast Or 2 1/4 tsp of dry yeast
Jam

Can you substitute fresh starter and how much for the dry yeast?
Hi Mary Jo, here is a great resource for how to convert yeast recipes to sourdough.
Are there adjustments for high altitude baking? I currently live in Denver Colorado.
Hi JoAnn, we are at a pretty high elevation ourselves. Denver is at a 1609 meter elevation, and we are at a 1508 meter elevation, so I imagine there won’t be a vast difference in how the recipes turn out as far as that goes.
Can an unsweetened non-dairy milk work in this (i.e. almond or coconut)? Would also use coconut sugar instead. I’m sure that wouldn’t be a problem … Sounds and looks yummy.
Hi Dana, Those substitutions should be fine. We haven’t tried it so of course can’t say for sure, but we’d love to hear how it turns out.
