Using Baking Soda in Dektol?

I finished my first of pinhole paper negatives last night. For developer, I
used 1 oz. Dektol and 20 oz. water as a one shot developer; each neg. was
processed for 90 sec. in a tray using constant agitation. They look pretty
contrasty. Someone in the group mensioned Baking Soda, I think, to adjust
the Ph (and hopefully lower the contrast). Does anyone have an idea on how
much Baking Soda (or a possable range, like 1(one)teaspoon to 1/2 cup)to add
to a gallon of Dektol. Any other suggestions on taming the contrast via
development the would be appriciated.

Thanks in advance for the help.
