Sacramento is flexing its flour power thanks to a proliferation of independent and cottage bakers who are wowing customers with everything from designer birthday cakes to picture-perfect pies. While these accomplished bakers may not have a storefront you can visit (they instead offer a variety of pickup, pop-up and delivery options), they deserve a spot in your bakery rotation.
Lieschen Moller of Lizzy’s Bakehouse
Known for: Hearty artisanal breads made with high-quality ingredients. The rotating selection of loaves includes English muffin toasting bread, pain au levain with whole-grain spelt, apricot semolina and a to-die-for German-style, seed-studded pan loaf called Dinkel Vollkornbrot. “I love the challenge of baking bread,” says Moller, who first learned the art from her mother and honed her craft through classes at the Artisan Baking Center in Petaluma.
