Who is Dough Mama?
My name is Angela and I am the baker behind Dough Mama. I have a full time job in the material handling industry and I am a mother of two wonderful children. I have always been health conscious by prioritizing fitness and cooking healthy meals. In spite of this I was had been dealing with the gut issues and not feeling myself. After multiple tests and doctors trying to see what was wrong, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and really looked to eliminate the foods that I was sensitive to, such as dairy and gluten. Once my husband and I started to grow our family we became more focused on providing the best foods available for our children. With all the preservatives and unhealthy additives being put in our food, had me looking for other options.
Sourdough, with its natural and traditional approach to bread-making, immediately caught my attention. It relies on wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria, eliminating the need for artificial additives. Additionally, the long fermentation process makes sourdough more digestible and nutrient-rich compared to conventional bread. I immersed myself in learning various techniques, experimenting with different flours, and honing my skills. It was from this where my starter, Dough Mama, was born.
