BREAD WITH A
REPUTATION 💋
THIS IS WHAT WE DOUGH.
Dough Momma Bakehouse was built from a love of real bread and a passion for doing things well. What started in my home kitchen has grown into a bakery known for handcrafted sourdough, specialty bakes, and bread made with an unwavering commitment to quality. Using freshly milled flour, predominantly organic ingredients, and traditional fermentation methods, every loaf is made with time, care, and ingredients I believe in.
THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DETAILS
Freshly Milled Flour
Freshly milled flour brings depth, character, and exceptional flavor to our handcrafted breads.
Thoughfully Sourced Ingredients
We prioritize organic ingredients and believe exceptional bread begins with what goes into it.
The Art of Fermentation
Traditional sourdough fermentation requires time, precision, and patience. We believe every minute matters.
A Commitment to the Craft
From traditional sourdough to our signature specialty loaves, every bake reflects years of experience, a respect for the process, and an uncompromising standard for quality.

What our customers are saying
Peggy L.
“And I thought that I didn’t like sourdough bread. 😂. This bread is so, so good! I have to reign myself in when ordering. My whole family loves it! Dough Momma is so much more than just bread! Delicious other baked goods and the most addictive granola ever! Freezes well. If sliced, I place parchment between slices so that we can easily remove slices as needed. Perfect for gifting too! You can’t help but love the owner as well. She is adorable, bright, funny…. We are fans for life. ❤️”
Brittney L.
“The bread, pretzels and cinnamon rolls are fantastic. Some of the best, if not the best, I’ve had and top notch ingredients. If you’ve hesitated to try (like did!) don’t!! You’re surely missing out. 100% worth the 30 minute drive for high quality, freshly handmade baked goods each week.”
Savanna M.
“I'm not sure where to even begin. I don't have a favorite item from Dough Momma because I absolutely LOOOOVVVEEE them all. I have never been disappointed by anything she's made and I am a sourdough snob. Will not go anywhere else for fresh baked goods.”
BREAD WORTH MAKING PLANS FOR.
