Our Bakery

Lou's interest in artisan breads was sparked by a building project of a brick bread oven. The build was initially designed to reconnect him to his son, who was in imminent danger of wearing out his thumbs on his, then, not so smart phone.

He built that oven with his son and the rest, as they say, is history.....

Building the oven was very rewarding....what came out of it was nothing short of amazing. It wasn't just about breads, baked a couple of hours after the initial firing, but also: roasts, cakes, pastries, stews, braises and finally, as the oven temperature fell to around 170 degrees by day four, meringues!

  

The oven pictured left, was built by Lou for a customer who frequented The Farmer's Market in Millbrook. A handsome structure set in beautiful surroundings. 

He has recently completed a new oven to accompany his purpose built bakery (preparation area only, not a retail Bakery) at his home.

Black oven -  featuring blue stone, copper      flashing and a slate roof.
