White or whole wheat can be artisan, in fact most are white bread.
Any machine formed bread can contain those ingredients. The thing
that makes bread artisan is that it's hand formed, typically free form
but can also be baked in some sort of pan... the typical pizza is
artisan bread.

My dad once used the word awful in a sort of speech and explained why he
used it in the context in which he did. He said the origin of the word
is "full of awe" so that isn't a bad thing. It made people think.
Because when he said what he referred to that was full of awe as awful,
people didn't get it. He was an amazing man.

From that one anecdote, he sounds like a pedantic bore.

Yuh kin add 'paranoid', 'couture' and 'psychotic' to that list too. Often, one hears of 'artesian' bread -- ha.

Some folks talk about it as if it was available on every corner. Just
like there is a farmers market or an Asian market everyone can go to.
This isn't always the case. The only bread I see which claims to be
"artisan" comes from the supermarket bakery department. It's bread and
they throw some seeds in there and mark up the price.

I haven't seen anything truly awesome since I saw the sun glittering off

For those into bread artisan bread is about the easiest baked goods
one can bake at home, no more difficult than boxed cake... all artisan
means is that the bread was hand shaped... beautiful artisan bread can
be made from pizza dough... in fact hand thrown pizza IS artisan
bread.
