Name: Daniel C. Wing, MD

Specialty: Physical and rehabilitation medicine

Location: Windsor, Vt.

Business: Writes and teaches about baking bread and building masonry ovens

Annual revenue: $5,000

Why he started the business: "It wasn't really that I got an idea. I grew up partly in a small town in Maine where most people did bake and where people made their own butter. I also lived in Brazil when I was a child where fresh bread was delivered to our doorstep every morning. So I was used to having excellent bread growing up."
