artisan loaves
Crusty handmade bread
Artisan loaves are bread made by traditional methods rather than industrial processes—typically hand-shaped, slow-fermented, and baked in small batches.
The term suggests craft and quality: crusty exteriors, irregular crumb structure, simple ingredients.
The bakery sells artisan loaves alongside standard sandwich bread.
Marketing has stretched the term to cover mass-produced breads with rustic styling.
