Loaves

Organic Artisan Crafted Loaves

Our loaves are known by the name of Hearth And Hand Wood-Fired Artisan Breads.These are traditional breads made with a 'Wild Yeast' culture. Natural fermentation from naturally occuring sugars in the grains gives way to 'Slow Rise' doughs,this 'slow' method increases the natural flavours. Our dough culture was started here in the valley from organic wine grapes,grown along side the Similkameen River.We hand shape our loaves and ferment our dough in ceramic crocks,a slow, cool ferment means abundant flavour,just as it's done in the old country.This is country bread at it's best!

The oven is the key element for baking our naturally leavened 'Wild Yeast' doughs.The oven attains high temperatures which is ideally suited for baking the whole grain flatbreads. Our slow rise loaves require the even distribution of heat a mass oven provides,thermal,convection and radiant heat are transfered into the doughs that is stored in the mass.This is what contributes to the 'oven spring' in the loaves,providing the unique crust and crumb and flavour that can only be obtained with slow rise, wood fired breads.

We hand craft each of our wood fire ovens,they are fueled with local fruit wood cuttings from the Similkameen Valley orchards.Infusing subtle flavours of cherry,apple,pear,apricot and even peach.When there is possible time to schedule,on occasion we will construct brick and/or clay ovens for dicerning clients who wish to have a custom oven built suited to their baking needs, in residential or commercial application.
