What’s the difference between artisan bread and sandwich bread?
The artisan bread is a simple flour, water, starter, and salt. The sandwich bread is an enriched dough that has the addition of honey and avocado oil for a fluffier texture.
What’s the difference between same-day bread, artisan bread, and almost no knead bread?
All three contain the same ingredients but are different due to their structure. The same-day loaf has more sourdough starter than the artisan, so it’ll bulk ferment more quickly. The almost no-knead bread uses a different technique so that you don’t have to knead the dough like the other two.
What is a sourdough boule?
It’s the traditional French shape of bread that resembles a squashed balloon.
