Simply Bread ovens at IBIE Booth 2571
After moving to the U.S. from Belgium, I missed the rustic loaves from my neighborhood bakery. So I dove into making my own sourdough. It was a long road from those first attempts to re-creating the open-crumb artisanal bread of my homeland, but once I perfected my recipe, demand from friends and family grew. Everyone clamored for the simple pleasure of a crusty loaf.
However, baking just four loaves at the time in my kitchen oven was no way to build a business, and I soon learned that pain of wanting to increase output, but not having space or budget for a massive commercial oven.
That’s how Stijn Vanorbeek gave birth to the Simply Bread Baking Oven.

4 Generations Organic hard red winter wheat berries are a wonderful source of fiber. They hold up to 24% of the fiber needed for one whole day solely in a single quarter-cup serving. Fiber is very crucial to your daily diet to support the digestive system. Fiber has also been proven to drastically lower cholesterol levels, making it less likely for fat to accumulate in arteries, maximize blood flow, and keep your heart in excellent shape. With the rapidly growing number of Americans being diagnosed with some form of heart disease, fiber should be an important part of every diet.
Consuming our organic wheat berries has endless benefits. Not only do the wheat berries promote regularity, they support health, blood sugar, and weight loss. They also aid in bone strength, prevention of anemia and much more.
Brittle bones are also no match for wheat berries! Manganese naturally found in the wheat berry, plays a crucial role in bone mineralization as well as the development of collagen and bone cartilage. Within one serving of wheat berries, you meet your body’s daily prerequisite of manganese. These berries provide and impressive 97% of the daily recommended value.
The consumption of wheat is increasing globally, including in countries with climates that are not suitable for wheat production. Wheat‐based foods provide a range of essential and beneficial components to the human diet, including protein, B vitamins, DF, and phytochemicals. These components may also vary widely in amount and composition due to effects of genotype and environment. DF is particularly important as consumption is associated with reduced risk of CVD, type 2 diabetes, and certain forms of cancer. DF components also have high heritability and their amount should therefore be amenable to manipulation by breeding, particularly if molecular markers can be established to reduce the need for expensive chemical analyses during screening.

The Mockmill 200
The best way to take advantage of these amazing benefits are to cut out the ultra-processed foods as well as all “enriched” flours and go straight to the source, our amazing hard red winter wheat berries.
Wolfgang Mock created the Mockmill 200 as a higher capacity version of the Mockmill 100, and the 200 is the ideal solution for anyone wanting to make more fresh flour even more quickly.

To Americans of Polish descent, Pączki Day means eating pączki, special jelly-filled buns. While the practice of Pączki Day is traditionally observed the day before Ash Wednesday in the United States, in Poland, pączki sales are the highest on Tlusty Czwartek, or “Fat Thursday.” (The Thursday before Ash Wednesday).
In 1998, Dobra Bielinski and Stasia Hawryszczuk opened the first Delightful Pastries bakery in Jefferson Park on Lawrence with a goal to make authentic European pastries, using as many local ingredients as possible. This mother-daughter team believed that natural ingredients should speak for themselves and shine through without being covered up with sugar.
Dobra’s brother Robert, also a chef, had been involved in the background since inception but became a managing partner with his partner Nico Hua, a business executive, taking over operation of the French Market location.
Today they are still making all of their products in-house by using the finest and freshest ingredients. They do not add chemicals or preservatives to any of their products. Also, as requested by their clientele, a majority of the pastries are made low-sugar. YOU taste the butter difference.

A Chicago Belgian Bakery interview
How did you get started as an Artisan Baker?
Find Renaud Hendrickx Belgian Crafter
I started about 20 years ago when I opened a coffee shop in Nassau, Bahamas called Belgian Waffles. We sold the Liege and the Brussels waffles, being famous all over the world, it was an instant success. But we had to add some other bakery items. So we added croissants, apple turnovers and a selection of breads, the most famous one being the Belgian Country Bread. When I was 14, every day at the ‘recreation’ at the end of the day in my little boarding school we were given a piece of bread with a chunk of dark chocolate. That bread was the best I had ever tasted.
But it was never to be found again as it seemed to be the artisanal work of the baker in that little village and thus not to be found elsewhere. The only way I was ever going to find that delicious bread would be to make it myself! So I worked days on end until my ‘memories’ were finally satisfied with the result. Since then, I make that bread everyday with just 4 ingredients – flour – water – yeast and a bit of salt.
As the time passed, we added some other specialties like crêpes and then some savory items such as quiches, sandwiches, salads… But we always kept the same philosophy – everything is made from scratch on the premises using the best ingredients.
What is your pastry specialty?
Our puff pastry that we produce in the most traditional way (the whole process take 18 hours). We have different versions:
the one we use to make our croissants – 13 different ones – plain, Belgian chocolate, almond paste, pistachio paste, Amarena cherries, Hazelnuts, Gruyere, Bacon & Gruyere… and our last one the Croizang (triple chocolate)
the one we use for the Napoleons or for the Kings’ cake (Galette des rois) and the inverted sweetened puff pastry that we use for our very special Hazelnut Praline Mille-Feuilles.
What is the importance of good quality ingredients?
Obviously using the best ingredients is of utmost importance to any food preparation. You cannot produce something that tastes good with poor quality ingredients. We use the best flour, the best butter, the best almond paste, the best Belgian chocolate, real vanilla extract… even if they cost much more. Our customers have high expectations and are well traveled. They can recognize the quality and understand why we are more expensive than most other bakeries. When you bake everything from scratch and put lots of efforts in the production process you will not jeopardize your efforts by using average quality ingredients.
What have you bought from Chef Jean Pierre?
So far some chocolate, some specialty flours like almond flour, spelt flour… and those have met our quality standards. It’s always nice to have someone new entering the market, especially someone specialized in baking ingredients and someone interested in working with artisans. A lot of the wholesalers have no interest for us as they want to serve only the larger accounts with mainstream brands and products. Their buyers are not interested to source specialty ingredients. They want to deal with the large producers.
Is there anything you wish we could carry?
At this time, we are still discovering your product range, so we’ll keep you posted 🙂 The main adjustment is placing an order more ahead of time than with a regular supplier with whom you place your order at 9 PM at night to have items delivered 8 hours later.
What has your experience been like with Chef Jean Pierre?
So far so good. All the persons we have dealt with are nice and helpful and stay in touch after their first visit 🙂
