From the Court Room to your Dinning Room / Our Story
-------------------------------------------------------
My name is Stéphanie Armengau and I am a lawyer and former Crown Prosecutor, specialized in Criminal Law. When I became a mother, I started baking and cooking a lot and it became a true passion. I was truly missing the baking and flavours of my childhood, especially the excellent breads we find in France. After trying many bakeries in Toronto, I was never truly satisfied with the bread texture or its unhealthy ingredients: unnecessary sugars, artificial additives, oils and industrial yeasts that make most people gluten-intolerant. Having a background in microbiology, I decided to grow my own sourdough to make REAL artisan bread and viennoiseries. I have never looked back. I now make organic sourdough whole wheat, 10-grain, dark rye, country loaves, whole wheat / flax, whole wheat / rye, chia and white breads all with flours that come from local mills in Southern Ontario. Sourdough is the healthiest bread you can eat and has been used for thousands of years before the introduction of the industrial yeast. It uses lactic fermentation that helps processing the gluten. Contrary to the yeast that makes alcoholic fermentation, sourdough bread is easy on your digestion and for gluten intolerant people (like me). My breads are high in fibres and proteins. They satisfy your appetite until your next meal. I also make handmade delicious traditional organic butter croissants, Lindt chocolate croissants, brioches, cinnamon rolls and cakes. I am hoping to turn my fully licensed and registered bakery into a successful home business. Thank you for welcoming me into your home, liking the page and following me.
