I have to say that while I enjoyed baking breads before covid, it definitely went into high gear during lockdown. Multi-day breads were easy to time. I could schedule meetings around complex timing or steps if I had to. Eating more meals at home meant more lunch and breakfast with delicious fresh bread. The whole world (or at least a lot of mine) having a shared baking experience meant I could converse with many friends about a hobby I enjoyed but no one else I knew was into. Suddenly I could give helpful tips when people posted their frustrations or questions online. Like an earlier comment, I already had ingredients in bulk, so it also meant I could share with people who needed some.
