Many people ask what is the difference between artisan breads and other breads. Artisan bread is hand formed, there are no loaf pans. Each loaf is sculpted with care and craft.
As I was making bread for market this week, I was thinking how different it was from making other baked goods. The dough was mixing, everything was measured perfectly, but it still needed a touch more liquid. Each time it mixes, it needs to be attended and adjusted depending on weather, heat in the kitchen and age of the flour. I get into a zen-like state when making bread dough. I love it! Bread is mesmerizing.
