Best Dough Bread, LLC

Best Dough Bread, LLC is a micro bakery in Blanding, Utah, dedicated to serving the underserved rural communities of San Juan County with fresh, handcrafted sourdough bread. We offer a diverse selection, from classic plain loaves to unique flavors like cheese and jalapeño, cinnamon and brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins, and blueberry and lemon.

Our mission is to fill a critical gap in the local market. San Juan County, and particularly Blanding, is a food desert with limited access to fresh, high-quality bread. With only one grocery store in town and the next closest option 20 miles away in Monticello. Best Dough Bread provides a much-needed source of fresh, nutritious, and locally made sourdough bread.

Beyond great taste, sourdough bread offers natural health benefits, including improved gut health and a lower glycemic impact compared to commercial bread. At Best Dough Bread, we take pride in crafting our loaves daily, ensuring the residents of San Juan County have consistent access to wholesome, delicious bread made with care and tradition.

Reviews:

“I can’t say enough good things about Best Dough Bread, LLC! I brought them my freshly milled einkorn grains, hoping they could craft a sandwich bread that worked for my diet. Not only did they take on the challenge, but they went the extra mile—purchasing an einkorn starter and spending countless hours perfecting the recipe. The result? Absolute perfection. The einkorn sourdough sandwich bread they created is everything I hoped for and more.” – Samuel, Facebook Review

“Her sourdough bread is amazing! I haven’t tried a flavor I didn’t like. She also makes sourdough cookies and those are also so yummy! Highly recommend her products!” – Brianna, Facebook Review
