Thread: Artisan Bread Making

Just back from the US having visited some of the trendy food spots in Atlanta and Seattle with my adult kids and I came away very impressed with the creativity and incredible quality of the restaurants and markets. I don't particularly see anything negative about the younger generation bringing their ideas into the mix.

Two things come to mind;
"There is more art in a good soup than there is in a bad painting."

Rustics by and large have little time for repetitive artisan pursuits as they work the land, even when breadmaking.
Emulating a rustic practice takes an artisan, I'd guess.

Good cakes are just breads with a tweak in them, made by crafty artisan bakers.

Tell you what, when you start a column about bread, you can call it homemade bread. If you just want to sidetrack the discussion to rant about your personal dissatisfaction with semantics that's actually very petty in my opinion.

No complaints about making bread not dissatisfied with the thread just the affectation of attaching names or language that don't fit.
I am also not trying to hijack the thread just again pointing out the affectations use of language.
Is there any difference between your so-called Artisan bread and well made home-made bread using quality ingredients and good baking practices?

Next you'll be saying you are brewing craft beer at home!

I live quite near a MaxValue which has a Yam-something Japanese bakery outlet so at present I have no need to bake my own.

^If you actually read the OP you would see that I referenced a book that is called Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast - the fundementals of artisan bread and pizza making. I also referenced a website that is entitled 'making overnight artisan bread at home'. I am not inflating my efforts at all as you seem to be inferring. You seem to be just trolling to bring attention to yourself.

So sad to have TROLLS on any thread. Why the FVCK do you A$$wipes need to screw up a good topic? YOU and the other A$$wipes trolling?

If you cannot CONTRIBUTE something helpful , KEEP YOUR trap SHUT.

It does beg why some people even exist in this world.
