How do you eat your artisan bread?
Do you eat it raw? Or do you toast it? Do you use it in recipes?

I think you mean untoasted by 'raw'. |

I am thinking that the fact that they are a franchise and therefore following franchise recipes or, more likely, using franchise ingredient mixes, they are not really franchises. My corner bakery makes a variety on interesting breads. They do not make regular white bread or whole wheat. They have a variety of whole grain breads with olives, leek, potato etc. I confess that I don't buy their breads. I don't eat much bread, so it would be a waste of good (and expensive) bread for me, but I do occasionally have lunch there and their sandwiches are made with their bread, and they are incredible. |

I am buying a sandwich, and there are two pieces of bead in the sandwich. The bread is wonderful. I do not buy loaves of it because it would be a waste, especially at $5-6 per loaf. We have another good bakery in town where I get whole wheat and while grain breads. I have been encouraging my brother to buy his bread there but he says it is too expensive. It is about twice as much as he pays for bread from the local supermarket bakery. The real bakery bread loaves are bigger and weigh about twice as much, and they are so much better. |

It's over $5.00 elsewhere. The loaves are smaller than a cheap bread loaf but it is fine for us when there are just two of us in the house. We don't always finish the loaf so I freeze the extra and make stuffing with it about once a month. But now that my husband is home we go through two loaves in a week, easily. He is a big sandwich eater. Daughter and I are not. |

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. |

To me artisan bread is bread with a hard crust. I love the sliced
oatmeal bread I buy every so often. I also like from Target the 3 cheese semolina bread. If you can play knock knock on the crust... |
