“The question is how do we define the space that we’re in from a technical, rather than a philosophical, point of view. ...Because I’m a scientist, I wanted to find evidence.”
 
—Andrew Ross, Oregon State University
Artisan Bread
As the market and demand for artisan breads grow, so does the debate over what can be considered “artisan.” Is it possible to develop a technical, chemical definition for artisan breads? Such a definition could be based on lean formulations, long fermentations, and adapting to changing flour properties using process rather than ingredients, according to Ross’s article published in the AACC International journal Cereal Foods World ®, Vol. 63, Number 2, titled “Flour Quality and Artisan Bread.” Ross conducted interviews, reviewed data, and considered evolving trends in flour types, fermentation times, processes, and more.
 
Ross’s article appears in Cereal Foods World 's Baked Products issue. The issue includes a variety of perspectives that explore the artisan bread trend throughout the value chain.
