20 June 2023 BOULANGERIE NORTH HEAD BAKERYClosed temporarily
Our bakery might well be described as a village bakery of French complexion, set in an English speaking community, the Island of Grand Manan. The key tools in production (kneader, oven and proofing devices) are French, recipes are metric and reflective of French-baking authors; preparation of doughs and baking take place in 'le fournil’. The selling of breads and other bakery goods occur in the shop, or ‘la boutique’. Ownership is by the propriety partnership of Martha Ballantyne and Richard Rice. General oversight is shared, but work and leadership in the two departments locates Martha in la boutique, and Richard in le fournil. The open secret to good French bread is simply expressed: good flour, water, salt and leaven, fermented properly. Lastly, bakery and home are in the one building. BAGUETTES
