Our Bread is the most unique bread you can find in Thunder Bay. We start with only the finest organic, whole grain ingredients available, and combine them in a natural leavening process to achieve our unique flavour. Each loaf is hand-shaped individually, and baked in a wood fired oven to bring out their exceptionally unique taste.
Both Hands Bread is Always:
-Whole Grain-Organic-Naturally Leavened-Nutritionally Superior-Free of added Fats, Oils or Sugars-Baked in Wood-Fired Ovens
Our Pizza follows the same principles that make our bread so popular. We keep things simple, flavourful and pure. The pizza dough is thin, organic spelt-wheat and is lightly dressed; leaving you feeling filled without feeling heavy. The pizza spends just 2 or 3 minutes in the 500-plus°F oven, coming out sizzling and steaming.
We have a variety of styles available to choose from, or you can get creative and create your own!
- Pepperoni-Hawaiian-Roasted Garlic-Mexican Pizza-Supreme-Hymer’s Special
Our OvensWe make all of our bread from scratch. We also construct unique ovens. At home, we use a pastoral brick-and-concrete oven, used for most of the baking. At the Thunder Bay Country Market, you’ll see “The Pizza-Mobile”, a portable oven used for cooking up the pizza. Each oven can make pizza or up to 40 loaves of bread at a time, reaching anywhere between 500°F to 700°F.
Specializing in wood-fired, brick ovens to bake our bread, the ovens we build are for commercial and private use. If you would like one of these lovely, practical, and community-building brick oven structures for your home or organization, please contact us for an initial consultation.

Light Rye - $5.00
The Finnish population in Thunder Bay will say that Rye bread keeps you going. It’s true. Our sourdough Light Rye is excellent bread that can be enjoyed on its own or with favourite cheeses or meat plates. With a thin crust and dense moist crumb, this bread keeps for a very long time and is a staple at any dinner table.
100% Rye - $5.00
If our Light Rye keeps you going just imagine our 100% Rye. This is the ultimate hearty bread ideal for the Rye lover. Our Rye stays particularly moist in the crumb and offers a dark and flavourful crust. Campers in Thunder Bay have shared stories of this legendary Rye keeping for over two weeks in the dense forests of Canada’s North.
Peasant Bread - $5.00
If you feel like eating our most popular bread then pick up a Peasant loaf. This large hand shaped favourite is our only yeasted bread. This makes for a high rising and comparably fluffy crumb with a thin and crisp crust. Arguably our most versatile loaf, this bread will go with just about anything.
Dried Cranberry & Sunflower Seed - $XXX
Our Dried Cranberry and Sunflower seed is an aromatic ‘breakfast bread’. The mix of tanginess from the Cranberries and sourdough mixed with the mild sweetness from the organic sunflower seeds making this bread perfect for eating plain or toasting. This bread will also make an excellent French toast or will even compliment to a thanksgiving turkey.
Spelt and Flax Seed - $XXX
Spelt is an ancestor of wheat. Spelt is a unique grain offering a low gluten content. The result is tasty bread that can be eaten by people with wheat allergies and intolerances. Our Spelt & Flax Seed bread has a thin and chewy crust with a moist irregular crumb. This bread is at home with sweet and savoury dishes and is amazing on its own too. Flax seeds are a great source of omega-3 oils that double to keep this bread fresh and moist.
Olive and Rosemary Spelt - $6.00
Our Spelt & Olive Rosemary can also be eaten by people with wheat allergies and intolerances. Fresh Kalamata olives and home-grown rosemary leaves incorporate a savoury and distinct flavour unique to this bread. The crust of this bread is dark and thin while the crumb is glossy and flecked with minor inconsistencies, a true testament to handmade quality. This loaf is best enjoyed with savoury dishes.
Sundried Tomato & Basil - $6.00
Our Sun Dried Tomato and Basil is savoury sourdough bread. This Mediterranean style loaf is best enjoyed with tomato based Pasta Dishes, Oil and Balsamic vinegar or just on its own.
Kamut - $5.00
Our 100% organic Kamut is an ancient treat. Kamut is a grain that dates back to the Egyptian era and has been left unaltered since it was first discovered. Like all of our loaves Kamut is a sourdough, meaning it is not only tasty, but healthy as well. The Kamut crust is light while the crumb is chewy, reminding us of a classic cornbread. As with every loaf we bake, there are no added sugars, oils or fats of any kind.
The Hedgehog - $3.00
The Porcupine - $5.50
Our Hedgehogs and Porcupines are in fact the same type of bread. They differ in size depending on your appetite! These special loaves are created with whole wheat flour with the bran removed. This organic sourdough is enjoyed with both sweet and savoury foods. Toasted sesame seeds embedded in the crust simply add to the richness and flavour of this distinguished loaf.
How to Store Your Bread
If you’re not going to eat your bread right away, it will keep best if you freeze it in a plastic bag. When you take it out to eat, be sure to let it thaw inside the bag. All the moisture that leaves the bread in the freezer will go back into the bread, giving it a fresher taste. A frozen loaf if best served toasted or warmed in an oven for 10 minutes.
