Here's the answer I gave a while back in response to someone else who asked the same thing:<BR/><BR/>An "artisan bakery" is a shortened form of "artisanal bakery," and is based on the definition of the word <B>artisan</B>: noun, adj. A worker skilled in a trade such as fine wood working, masonry, and baking.<BR/><BR/>In her gorgeous book, <B>Artisan Baking Across America</B> (I've added a link to it in the text of <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2005/07/ten-tips-for-better-bread.html#comments" REL="nofollow"><B>this post</B></A>), author Maggie Glezer goes on to say that "For bread to be considered 'artisan,' at least one part of its production must be performed by hand. Beyond that, artisan bread is most likely to be crusty European-style bread, sometimes sourdough, sometimes not; hopefully weighed, rounded, shaped, and slashed by hand; and baked directly on a hearth in a 'deck oven.' More difficult to define is the level of quality implied by the term, the concern for the color and flavor of the bread's flour, and for the naturally arising flavors conjured by careful craftsmanship."<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps. Makes me want to tear into a warm, crusty loaf just reading it! : )Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1129254091210326492005-10-13T20:41:00.000-05:002005-10-13T20:41:00.000-05:00Hi Clare!You sneaked in while I was typing that co...Hi Clare!<BR/>You sneaked in while I was typing that comment novella.
