Steps:
- 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.

BASIC HIGH-ALTITUDE FRENCH BREAD FOR WELBILT BREADMAKER
I used to live near sea level, where I had wonderful success with breadmaker breads. Back then, I'd just estimate the amount of yeast, salt, and sugar, and I'd toss in all sorts of extra ingredients. Once even a bread made with yellow cake mix and some leftover spinach. However, after moving to a mile-high altitude, I had to stop casually adding ingredients. In fact, I couldn't even turn out a decent loaf of white bread. I was about to donate my breadmaker away, when I came across tips for high-altitude baking on the internet. I stayed up late one night reading. Then I started experimenting. My breadmaker is the Welbilt Model #ABM-100. [That's the breadmaker that's shaped like R2D2.] I played around with ingredient amounts until I found a combination that uses regular flour at high-altitude. Now, I've never tried this at OTHER high altitudes ... maybe what works in my altitude/temperature/humidity will fail dismally in another part of the world. And I don't know what would happen if you choose to use bread flour. Here's the basic French bread that works for me. But I haven't dared to add spinach to it.

Steps:
- Add ingredients to breadmaker in order listed.
- Select French bread setting.
- Push start.
- Four hours later, slice and eat.
- This is best when freshly-sliced; it doesn't seem to keep particularly well. But, if you have teenagers, the question of needing to keep leftovers is irrelevant anyway.

Tips:
- Use fresh, grated zucchini: Grating the zucchini helps to release its moisture and flavor. Fresh zucchini will also have a higher water content, which is important for high-altitude baking.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a baking pan that is 9x5 inches or smaller: Using a smaller pan will help the bread to rise properly at high altitude.
- Bake the bread at a lower temperature for a longer period of time: The lower temperature will help to prevent the bread from overcooking. The longer baking time will help to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
- Test the bread for doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
Conclusion:
High-altitude baking can be a challenge, but it is possible to make delicious zucchini bread at high altitude by following these tips. With a little practice, you'll be able to bake perfect zucchini bread every time, no matter where you live.
