🍞 SHE’S ALIVE… and Grace + Grain is coming back! 🍞
If you’ve noticed we’ve been a little too quiet around here… you’re right. 😅
Back in February, while I was on vacation, we tragically lost Doughlene. 💔 Thankfully, we always keep dehydrated Doughlene tucked away for exactly this kind of sourdough emergency.
We tried to bring her back.
And tried again.
And again.
And… she said absolutely not. 😂
So instead of fighting her, we decided maybe Doughlene needed what we all need sometimes: a summer siesta. ☀️😴
But lately, we’ve been hearing you.
The temperatures are dropping. 🍂
Soup season is creeping in. 🥣
You want a thick slice of fresh sourdough to dunk into it.
A muffin with your morning coffee. ☕️
A fresh bagel to grab on your way out the door. 🥯
So… we tried one more time.
AND DOUGHLENE IS THRIVING. 🙌🏼
We are officially on Day 4 of rehydration, and she is bubbling, growing, and finally acting like the Doughlene we know and love. If she keeps this up, we should be back to baking within the next day or two!
We aren’t opening orders quite yet—we want to make sure our girl is back at full strength first—but we couldn’t keep the good news to ourselves.
Grace + Grain is still here. 🤍
We just took a little summer siesta.
Dust off your bread knives, friends…
sourdough season is almost BACK. 🍞🍂
And Doughlene? Apparently she just needed a vacation too. 😉
