Baking Artisan Bread

My favorite hobby!

The word "artisan" refers to a skilled craftsman and "artisan" bread, by definition, is simply bread made by a skilled baker by hand in small batches. "Artisan" bread is typically made using traditional yeast fermenting techniques. The long fermentation process produces a bread with a nuanced flavor profile, open grain, and a chewy texture complimented by a crisp crust. Changing the ingredients of the dough or the techniques used to produce it, such as the mixing time, shaping, water hydration, fermentation time or the temperature, will change the behaviour of the dough. Different behaviours create the personalised textures and flavours used to create unique bread types. A skilled baker is able to adapt a dough to make several variations of bread from the same batch of dough. At first, learning all there is to know about baking "artisan" bread can feel overwhelming. Just put your fears behind you; even a novice baker can enjoy making a freshly baked loaf of "artisan" bread.
