Like many folks, Lissette Dasinger of Montgomery took up the hobby of making sourdough bread during the 2020-21 pandemic.

“After I had my second daughter, I started my starter from scratch and watched some videos online, like so many others during COVID, and it was so much fun. I just really enjoyed trying to do healthy bread for my family,” she says. “I remember my first bread loaf I made for my family. We ate it in seconds. It was flat, but it tasted good.”

In the past three years she has perfected her bread-making skills and branched out to sourdough cinnamon rolls, maple pecan sourdough scones and brown butter sourdough chocolate chip cookies. “My family and my daughters, they inspire me to bake more every time.”
