artisanal baking
Small-batch bread making
Artisanal baking is bread-making and pastry production using traditional methods, hand techniques, and quality ingredients rather than industrial processes.
The term implies small batches, longer fermentation times, and craftsmanship: The artisanal baking movement has revived interest in sourdough.
Sometimes used loosely as marketing language for anything that looks handmade.
