artisan baking

Artisan baking refers to the craft of making bread and baked goods using traditional methods, often by hand and with high-quality ingredients. It emphasizes careful attention to process, such as natural fermentation, shaping, and baking techniques, resulting in products with complex flavors, textures, and a distinct crust. Unlike mass-produced baked goods, artisan baking values authenticity, skill, and patience, often involving small-scale production or bakeries that prioritize quality over speed. This approach celebrates the artistry involved in creating tasty, wholesome, and aesthetically pleasing baked items.
