Steps:
- Combine water and yeast and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.

- 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.

Tips for Cooking Lamb at High Altitude
- Use a meat thermometer. This is the best way to ensure that your lamb is cooked to the desired doneness.
- Cook your lamb for a longer period of time. The higher altitude will cause your lamb to cook more slowly, so you will need to adjust your cooking time accordingly.
- Add more liquid to your dishes. The dry air at high altitude can cause your lamb to dry out, so it is important to add more liquid to your dishes, such as broth, wine, or water.
- Cover your lamb while cooking. This will help to keep the moisture in and prevent the lamb from drying out.
- Experiment with different cooking methods. Lamb can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as roasting, grilling, braising, and stewing. Experiment with different cooking methods to find the one that you like best.
Conclusion
Cooking lamb at high altitude can be a challenge, but it is possible to achieve delicious results. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb is cooked to perfection. So, next time you're in the mountains, don't be afraid to give lamb a try!
