In its purest form, artisan breads consist of only flour, water, yeast and salt which are combined using “artisan” methods and techniques. Because of this and the obvious wholesomeness of simple ingredients, artisan bread baking is enjoying resurgence in popularity.

Artisan breads are hand made, individually shaped loafs. All of the ingredients used are simple and familiar, and do not contain dough conditioners or chemical additives required for mass production and the extended shelf life of most commercial breads.
