Special occasion and sweet breads are made following a variety of traditional recipes.

Enrichments such as butter, eggs sugar, dried fruits and nuts are added to further enhance the exquisite flavours of the basic ingredients.

Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple, reduce food mileage, encourage local farming, make food which gives life while respecting our planet, be honest with our customers.

We make our whole grains breads using the following principles;

• use local Alberta wheat, for its great taste and quality.
• organic grains, wheat and rye, milled on location
• Baked fresh daily, made from levain culture, with long and slow fermentation.
• no additives, no preservatives.

Artisan bread making is best described by thinking about the person who makes the bread. Artisan bakers are craftsmen who bake crafted loaf of bread. The baker understand the ingredients and know how to provide the best environment for the dough to develop.

Time is the essence of artisan bread baking. The dough is allowed to ferment from several hours to one or two days in some instances. The bread is baked on the hearth of the oven (stone floor) to create crusty delicious loaves.
