Mina Makram - The World Most Passionate Baker & How to Search for Your AWE-some

---

What happens when I Research Engineer gets obsessed with bread?

After working as a Research and Development engineer at Stanford and losing 300+ pounds due to the keto diet, Mina missed eating breads. But he wanted to maintain eating healthy, high quality foods that are nutrient dense. Mina locked myself in my apartment kitchen and blocked out all the nay sayers that told me making true proper BOILED Bagels out of Almond and Coconut Flours is an idiotic dream (true story) And guess what… He made proper BOILED NYC Style Bagels. And now, 6 years later, Mina is the only one in the world making Proper Baklava from scratch. Bringing joy to so many customers around the country who can’t enjoy so many foods that we take for granted is what keeps him going through the thick and thin of it. From being homeless for 5 whole years. To getting my car repo’d from right in front of the bakery. To having to close the bakery and starting from square zero. He set out to create a community. Not a business. And now he have the most amazing community around the bakery!!
