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.

Good Bread Takes Time.

Every loaf at Dough Momma Bakehouse goes through a slow, 24–36 hour fermentation. That extra time allows for incredible depth of flavor and extensive gluten breakdown. It’s just one of the many things that makes our sourdough different. There’s a lot of intention behind every loaf, from the ingredients we choose to the way we handle our dough. Good bread doesn’t happen by accident, and it’s definitely not something we rush.
