Summer is here & that means state fair will be here soon too! 😎

Everyone loves a state fair chocolate chip cookie, this is my sourdough version! They will be available for sale all summer long!

With my business being inspired by my travels, I’m very excited to announce that I have this vision to create a sourdough menu item each week inspired by where I’ve traveled & where I go this summer. It will be inspired by local cuisine, culture, flavors, etc.

I’m heading to Costa Rica very very soon & while I travel there I plan to pick up some foods Costa Rica 🇨🇷 is known for!
Like dried fruit, chocolate/cocoa, spicy flavors, & coffee & plan to use these in a sourdough recipe for my next market! Stay tuned for what I create!

Beautiful night at the Bondurant Farmers Market. Was so nice to be back in my hometown & chatting with people I haven’t seen in years! Also had a couple of surprise guests helping out, cheering me on, & babysitting their grand dog 🤣♥️♥️

Very happy with this $8 Amazon purchase. This past weekend, I was using my scale I have since I started and it was my first really large dough batch and the scale I was using maxed out so I didn’t have a post bulk weight for any of my loaves so I had to cut dough, weigh it, add up each weight, then divide that by how many loaves and reweigh everything again to get each loaf the same weight lmao it wasn’t fun so now I have a scale that can handle 15,000 grams and should make my life a lot easier! 😅

I’ll put the link in the comments if anyone is interested in a scale for your own microbakery or just everyday meal prep or home cooking use! For $8 it’s a steal 🤩

Set up my first sold out farmers market with me. 💕💕

In addition to growing my business through farmers markets this summer, I’m hoping to grow my social media platform as well so follow Gen Dough for sourdough content, recipes, small business life, & all my crafts & summer hobbies.

Catching up on sleep while I wait for my next round of loaves to bulk ferment 😅

Today was my first Farmers Market & I never expected the outcome.

I sold out!!!!! 😱

I was so nervous & scared & now I’m feeling so happy that I started this next adventure.

Thank you to everyone who supported me today, who came out & said hi, texts, etc. it truly meant so much 😭

Thank you to every customer. It was so nice chatting with every one of you. Thank you for supporting my business & literally emptying my table. I’m still in shock.

I’m looking forward to the market season ahead & so excited to keep bringing classic flavors & trying new flavors on you. ♥️

Stay tuned for what will be available at the next market & message me if you want any orders locally.

Trust me when I say, you need these cookies in your life. 🍪 I accidentally had one for breakfast today 😅🤣

These are my Brown Butter Sourdough Cookies & they are way better and bigger than anything you could get at the Iowa State Fair.

Soft, gooey, & divine. Get your hands on these today at Maxwell's Market in the Park

First farmers market weekend & today was bulk ferment day!

Here’s a little sneak peek at my cranberry cheesecake loaf. Those aren’t white chocolate chips, those are cream cheese chips & they are delicious.
