What is Baker Bryan Ford’s net worth?
Although Bryan has always had a passion for food, baking was not his first career path. After graduating from Loyola University in Chicago, Bryan became a CPA (certified public accountant), according to the Miami New Times. Bryan hated his job and wanted to quit as soon as possible.
In late 2018, after years of working as an accountant, Bryan decided to quit his job and pursue a career in the food industry.
In April 2019, Bryan was approached by a Miami restaurant called Toscana Divino. At Toscana Divino, Bryan was responsible for baking bread for all of their operations including Ironside.
It’s been a while since Bryan left Toscana and Ironside to pursue his own career.
In 2020, Bryan published his first cookbook, New World Sourdough: Artisan Techniques for Creative Homemade Fermented Breads; With Recipes for Birote, Bagels, Pan de Coco, Beignets, and More. The hardcover version of the book can be purchased for under $15 on Amazon.
According to foodandwine.com, when Bryan Ford published his cookbook, he had only one goal in mind and that was to overturn the European perception of baking sourdough bread. He wanted to highlight the naturally fermented breads of Central and South America that he grew up on.
On March 29, 2020, he even hosted a Sourdough workshop at the Levee, where he taught attendees the basics of mixing, shaping, and baking sourdough bread.
In a short period of time, Bryan Ford has become famous, especially because of his social media presence and TV appearances. He starred in his own cooking show called The Artisan’s Kitchen in 2021. A few months ago, he appeared as a judge on another cooking show called Best in Dough.
