Description
Umber Ahmad is the baker extraordinaire and owner behind the buzzy Mah-Ze-Dahr bakeries in Manhattan, Washington D.C., and Arlington, Virginia, known for their nostalgic desserts, breads, and pastries. Before entering the food world professionally, Umber worked in finance as an investment banker and simply baked for fun on the side. But eventually, her passion became too strong, and after a little push from a certain Top Chef judge, she followed her dreams and opened Mah-Ze-Dahr in 2016.In this episode, Umber joins host Jessie Sheehan to chat about her journey into the sweet world of baked goods, the special meaning behind her bakery’s name, and some of the delicious treats you’ll find at Mah-Ze-Dahr locations. She also walks Jessie through her recipe for Nisu, a traditional Finnish bread with cardamom and coffee, which was the first thing Umber learned how to make. Click here for Umber’s Nisu recipe.
