Baking artisan bread takes equal parts imagination, skill, art and science.

An artisan baker must also understand classic techniques, traditions and bread-making history. They must understand the principles of dough fermentation, mixing, flour types and water content. They must understand the impact of moisture, humidity, and heat. As an artisan, they must have the creativity to carry bread-making into the future.

Our expert bakers share a combination of skills, passion and respect for tradition. They strive to create breads that are memorable, interesting and satisfying.
