Manitoba Bakers Use Great-Grandmother’s Eastern European Bread Techniques

A bakery in Niverville, Manitoba, called Forgotten Flavours, is revitalizing traditional bread-making techniques that Chris Holbrow and Maria Syroezhko discovered during their relationship. After Syroezhko recreated her great-grandmother’s method, Holbrow, who had digestive issues, could finally enjoy her bread. Launched in 2022, the bakery now operates in two locations, using wild yeast and local grains, with each loaf taking three to four days to prepare. The couple believes their artisanal approach fosters community and enhances the quality and digestibility of their products.
