Doering’s Doughs has become a familiar (and delicious) part of the Havana community, known for its fresh-baked breads, creative treats, and the kind of quality you can taste in every bite. What started as a simple idea has grown into a beloved small business, built on early mornings, dedication, and a whole lot of flour.
Four years ago, Missy Doering moved to Havana because she loved the idea of raising her kids in a small, close-knit community. Not long after, Doering’s Doughs was born, originally inspired by a simple goal: to make her children delicious treats made with good, honest ingredients. That same care still goes into everything she bakes today.
This past week marked a special milestone as Doering’s Doughs celebrated its three-year anniversary. In that time, it has grown from a small venture into a local favorite, with best sellers including challah breads, sourdough loaves, muffins, and cookies. Missy’s personal favorite is a sharp cheddar sourdough loaf, toasted with butter. It is simple and hard to beat.
At the heart of it all is a genuine love for people. “I put 100% love into everything I make,” Missy shares, “but my favorite part has truly been meeting the community.” She is also passionate about supporting other local businesses and often brings out-of-town guests to experience the charm of downtown Havana. “There’s so much kindness here. You can really feel it.”
If you have not had a chance to try Doering’s Doughs yet, or just need another excuse, you can find them at the market this Saturday. It is the perfect opportunity to grab your favorites, try something new, and support a local business that continues to grow and dream.
The best way to reach Doering’s Doughs is by text, email, or Facebook.
Something that might surprise people about Missy is that she is also a photographer. When she is not baking, she loves spending time gardening or being with her husband, kids, and dog, soaking up the same sense of home and community that inspired her business in the first place. Simple, heartfelt, and rooted right here in Havana. That is Doering’s Doughs.
