Bread
All wholegrain, sourdough and certified organic ingredients
Valli Rye: Our most hearty of breads. 100% Rye with a touch of oats and malted barley. This formula and technique come from dear friend and troublemaker in all things rye- Laura Valli, PhD student at Washington State University’s Bread Lab. Of all the Northern/Eastern European ryes, I’ve made- this is my favourite,

Einkorn: A moist, close crumbed pan loaf made with BC Einkorn. Beautiful yellow-ish crumb and slight savoury flavor.
Apple-Sesame-Spelt: Spelt sourdough studded with fresh apple pieces and anise. Rolled in sesame seeds.
Big Mama Mischbrot: A three-stage rye sourdough with buckwheat and spelt to lighten up the rye intensity.
