But this is not to say that artisan bread is not common, it is common but folks are not into artisan bread because they have no idea what it is or how to make it.
So, before we dive into the different artisan bread, we would talk a bit about the artisan, the origin, and how they are made.
History
The origin of artisan bread dates back decades ago to France when bread was always made the artisan way. Artisan refers to a method where bread is molded by hand.
The key ingredients used in making artisan pieces of bread then were just yeast, water, salt, and flour.
Artisan bread is distinct because you will not find this bread industrially produced or on store shelves like you would with normal bread.
Examples of artisan pieces of bread include Focaccia, Panettone, Ciabatta, and Baguette
Artisan pieces of bread are not baked in regular industrial ovens, they are baked in open cell crusty ovens that are styled like hearths.
In those times, making artisan pieces of bread was through a fermentation process. This process is what gives the artisan bread its distinctive taste. The longer an artisan bread is fermented, the different it tastes!
Fast forward from those days till now, artisan bread is still being sought after by folks who truly understand the awesomeness and uniqueness of artisan bread.
