It's better if you crush the buds up on top of the bread after it comes out of the oven. If you cook the bread with the buds on it already, they lose THC.
With my bread machine I have had to adjust for the altitude by adding a little bit of extra water. I just watch it while it is in the kneading process to see if it is getting smooth or not and then add 1 tablespoon at a time. Usually only need 1 tablespoon now that I am beginning to realize what I need to look for. Another thing that helped me were these cooking classes that I won a free trial of for a month. Anyone can take them for a trial for a week or two. First class I took was the bread making, 2nd class was the chocolate.
