About Me ..

My name is Jessica Youngblood. I am 32 years old and a mom of two little rascals (2- and 4-year-olds). I grew up with an aspiration to become a singer/songwriter, but as life changes so did my goals. I went to college for Entomology, although I didn’t finish, my dream was to travel as an Arachnologist and discover new arachnids all over the world. Soon after my stint in college, I worked in a Law Office for 3 years, but the 9-5 aspect was not something I meshed with well. Once Covid hit, I took that time to nest into motherhood. I was pregnant with my son during the beginning of the pandemic and having that option to stay home, felt right. I’ve been baking my whole life, but only after everything opened back up after covid did I find sourdough.

 

It was January 2023, and my dad pulled me aside asking if I wanted to join him in a sourdough adventure. I realized soon after, that sourdough was something I needed. As a mom of two small children, I lost a bit of myself in motherhood. By finding my foundation with sourdough, it brought a bit more of myself to the surface with every bake - I knew I was hooked for life. Fast forward to today and I just celebrated one year of Doughbauchery® in January 2025, my Organic Sourdough Micro bakery. I love to help people understand sourdough. Only being 2 years into this, I’m no expert but I’ve learned so many useful tools along the way. My goal is to encourage bakers of every level to discover, experiment and nurture a passion for baking with sourdough. Not only has it helped as my therapy for finding myself again, but it's truly added healthier options for my family and I’m so grateful to be the one to provide that.
