Our wood-fired brick ovens
Our wood-fired brick ovens are the heart of the Boiceville bakery and the soul of Bread Alone. So central are these ovens to who we are that they were first built on the land with the original bakery built and raised around them.
These brick ovens were hand-built by Andre Lefort, a multi-generational Parisian oven mason. Andre’s ovens can still be found in the basements of some special bakeries around Paris.
These wood-fired ovens share a symbiotic relationship with our modern electric Heuft oven. The electric heat exchanger from the Heuft oven powers the steam system for these wood-fired ovens to bake breads. Honoring the past, while building for the future. This relationship is core to Boiceville being a 100% renewable energy bakery and café.
If you find yourself in Boiceville, try our Levain, Miche, or Farm breads, all baked in our wood-fired ovens and inspired by our original recipes from 1983 using regional grains and long, slow fermentation.
