Oregon pilot lands new career as artisanal sourdough baker
- Miwa Aoki Russell, an Oregon pilot, stopped flying and began baking artisanal sourdough bread full time after 2020.
- The 2020 pandemic reduced travel and increased her time at home, which led her to discover sourdough baking following a family death in 2016.
- Russell spent eight months perfecting organic, preservative-free breads with unique hydration ratios and original live cultures, selling at local markets.
- Her bread sells for $12 to $14 per 2-pound loaf, and market manager Don Anway said Russell's breads bring customers into the store.
- Russell’s career shift illustrates how cottage food laws and the Food Justice movement enable home bakers to create income without commercial equipment.
