About Dough Dissolve
What Is Dough Dissolve?
Dough Dissolve is a safe, non toxic, enzyme powered solution that breaks down dough at the source. Our proprietary formula gently lifts and dissolves stubborn residue, making it easier and safer to clean your bowls, jars, and baking tools.
Instead of scrubbing or soaking overnight, Dough Dissolve does the work for you.
Who Started Dough Dissolve?
Dough Dissolve was founded by lifelong sourdough lovers Alex and Alexis after one too many battles with cement like dough stuck to bowls, jars, and sinks. We knew there had to be a better way, one that lets bakers spend more time doing what they love and less time scrubbing what they don’t.
Why Does Dough Dissolve Work Differently?
Dough Dissolve is enzyme powered, not scrub powered. Dough residue is made up of starches and proteins, not fats, which is why traditional dish soap often just pushes it around.
Our formula breaks dough down at the molecular level so it rinses away easily. No sticky paste. No clogged drains. No elbow grease.
What Makes the Enzymes in Dough Dissolve Different?
We use high quality, FCC grade enzymes. FCC, or Food Chemicals Codex, is a globally recognized standard that ensures purity, consistency, and safety.
Not all enzymes are created equal. FCC grade enzymes are cleaner, more reliable, and more effective than lower grade industrial enzymes, especially in food prep environments.
Why Does Enzyme Quality Matter?
Lower grade enzymes can vary widely in strength and often contain fillers or byproducts. FCC grade enzymes are held to strict standards for purity, performance consistency, and safety in food adjacent environments.
That means predictable results and a better experience every time you clean.
What Are Soap Nuts and Why Are They Used?
Soap nuts are dried berries that naturally contain saponins, which create a gentle cleaning action when mixed with water. They have been used for centuries to clean dishes and textiles.
We chose soap nut powder because it is plant based, biodegradable, effective, and allows us to keep the formula minimal while avoiding harsh or unnecessary chemicals.
Is Dough Dissolve Safe for Hands, Tools, and Drains?
Yes. Dough Dissolve is designed for everyday use in food prep environments. It is non toxic, gentle on hands, and safe for sinks, drains, and the tools you bake with.
No harsh chemicals. No aggressive solvents. Just clean science doing the work.
What Ingredients Does Dough Dissolve Leave Out on Purpose?
We intentionally avoid unnecessary additives, fragrances, or preservatives.
No harsh chemicals. No synthetic fragrances.
Is Dough Dissolve a Sustainable Choice?
Sustainability is built into every decision. We prioritize plant based and biodegradable inputs, minimal and thoughtful packaging, and ingredients that are effective at low concentrations.
Less waste, less water, and less scrubbing.
Who Is Dough Dissolve Made For?
Anyone who bakes, especially sourdough bakers who are tired of sticky bowls, clogged drains, and scrubbing for far too long.
If cleanup is getting in the way of your ritual, Dough Dissolve is for you.

Yes. We are just getting started. Sign up for our email list to be the first to know about new products, restocks, and fun surprises.
How It Works
How Does Dough Dissolve Break Down Dough?
Think of it like soap, but made for dough. Dough residue is made up of starches and proteins, not fats, so traditional dish soap often just spreads it around.
Dough Dissolve is formulated to actually break dough down at a molecular level so it dissolves instead of sticking.
How Do I Use Dough Dissolve?
- Place your bowl, jar, or tool in the sink
- Add 2 to 3 pumps of Dough Dissolve directly onto the dough
- Fill with warm water using a 1 to 4 ratio of soap to water
- Let soak for 10 minutes
- Swirl the solution and lightly scrub if needed
The dough dissolves, rinses away, and your tools are clean without sticky paste or clogged drains.
Storage and Safety
Does Dough Dissolve Have a Shelf Life?
12 months.
How Should Dough Dissolve Be Stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Is Dough Dissolve Safe to Use During Pregnancy?
Yes. Dough Dissolve is made with non toxic, fragrance free ingredients that meet strict health and safety standards. Each ingredient was carefully selected for its safety profile.
As with any household product, if irritation or rash occurs, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
Good to Know
Why Does Vinegar Not Work on Dough?
Vinegar is acetic acid, which is great for mineral buildup but does not break down dough. Dough Dissolve uses soap nut powder and lab grade amylase, which target and break down the starch bonds in dough.
What Should I Do If Dough Clumps Remain?
That is totally normal with thicker dough. Just swirl the water or lightly agitate with your fingers. Warm water activates the formula and helps everything work faster.
You will notice the clumps are no longer sticky and dissolve easily with a little movement.
Will Dough Dissolve Clog My Drain?
No. Dough Dissolve is designed to break dough down, not push it around. We do not recommend sending solid clumps down the drain.
If anything remains, simply agitate it until it fully dissolves and turns liquid before rinsing.
Is Dough Dissolve Septic Safe?
When used as directed, Dough Dissolve is designed to be septic safe. It breaks dough down so it rinses clean and is formulated without harsh antibacterial ingredients that can disrupt septic systems.
How Much Should I Use and Why Does Warm Water Help?
We recommend about a 1 to 4 ratio of Dough Dissolve to water. Warm water works best and speeds everything up by activating the formula.
What Actually Dissolves the Dough?
We use FCC grade amylase, which targets the sticky starch bonds in dough. That is why Dough Dissolve works differently than dish soap or vinegar and actually dissolves the dough instead of spreading it around.
How Long Does One Bottle Last?
A little goes a long way. Most people use 2 to 3 pumps per soak, so one 8 ounce bottle typically lasts about 50 cleans.
Is Dough Dissolve satisfaction guaranteed?
Yes. We want you to love Dough Dissolve. If it doesn’t make cleaning dough easier, faster, and less frustrating, just reach out and we’ll make it right.
No stress. No hassle. Satisfaction guaranteed.
About Bread Bag
Why did you create The Bread Bag?
We could never find a bread storage solution we truly loved. Most options felt like an afterthought. We wanted something beautiful, practical, and made from materials we felt good bringing into our home. So we created our own.
What does OEKO-TEX® certified mean?
OEKO-TEX® certification means the fabric has been independently tested for a long list of harmful substances and meets strict safety standards.
We chose OEKO-TEX® certified European flax linen because we believe the materials you bring into your home should be thoughtfully made, responsibly tested, and worthy of the loaf inside.
Why linen?
For generations, bakers have trusted linen for its natural breathability. Unlike plastic, linen allows airflow while helping protect your loaf, supporting a crisp crust and soft interior. We chose 100% European flax linen because it's beautiful, durable, plastic-free, and perfectly suited to storing artisan bread.
How does a linen bread bag help keep bread fresh?
Linen's natural breathability helps create an environment that supports a crisp crust and soft interior while protecting your loaf from drying out too quickly.
Is The Bread Bag plastic-free?
Yes. The Bread Bag is made entirely from natural linen and contains no plastic or synthetic liners.
How long will bread stay fresh?
Freshness depends on the recipe, hydration level, and environment, but The Bread Bag is designed to help maintain the texture and quality of your loaf for everyday storage.
Is The Bread Bag reversible?
Yes. Each Bread Bag is fully reversible, giving you two looks in one and an easy way to refresh your kitchen.
How do I use it?
Simply place your loaf inside, pull the ties up tight, and double knot to help keep your bread at its best.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry low. Iron on low if desired.
Will the linen soften over time?
Yes. Like all quality linen, The Bread Bag will soften beautifully with use and washing while maintaining its durability.
Where is The Bread Bag made?
The Bread Bag is proudly made in the USA from European flax linen.
About Cutting Board
What makes The Clean Cutting Board different?
It starts with what we leave out. The Clean Cutting Board is crafted from one solid piece of hardwood, rather than multiple pieces bonded together with glue. It’s finished only with organic MCT oil and raw beeswax, with no petroleum derived mineral oil or polyurethane.
Why is it made from a single piece of wood?
Many wood cutting boards are constructed from multiple pieces of wood bonded together with adhesives. We wanted a simpler approach, so each Clean Cutting Board is made from one solid piece of hardwood with no glue or adhesives.
Does The Clean Cutting Board contain any glue or adhesives?
No. Because it’s crafted from a single piece of hardwood, no glue or adhesives are used in its construction.
What is the board finished with?
Just organic MCT oil and raw beeswax. We intentionally chose a simple finish for a surface that comes into direct contact with your food.
Is it finished with mineral oil?
No. Many wood cutting boards are finished with mineral oil, which is petroleum derived. The Clean Cutting Board contains no mineral oil.
Does it contain polyurethane?
No. There is no polyurethane finish on The Clean Cutting Board.
How thick is the board?
Each board is a substantial 1 inch thick, giving it a sturdy feel while still being practical for everyday use.
Where is it made?
The Clean Cutting Board is made in the USA.
How should I clean my board?
Hand wash with warm water and a mild dish soap, then dry promptly. Do not soak or put your board in the dishwasher, as prolonged exposure to water and heat can damage natural wood.
How do I care for it?
As the wood begins to look or feel dry, condition it with our Board Butter, made from organic MCT oil and raw beeswax. Regular conditioning helps maintain the wood and keep your board looking beautiful.
Is The Clean Cutting Board FSC® certified?
Not yet. Our hardwood is sustainably sourced, and we are currently working toward FSC® certification as an additional step in our commitment to responsible sourcing. We’ll update our customers as soon as the certification process is complete.
Why did you create The Clean Cutting Board?
We started looking more closely at something we use every day and realized we wanted another option. One without glued together pieces of wood or a petroleum derived mineral oil finish. So we made it ourselves.
About Clean Board Butter
What is Board Butter?
Board Butter is a simple, natural way to condition and protect your Clean Cutting Board. It’s made with just organic MCT oil and raw beeswax, the same thoughtfully chosen ingredients used to finish your board.
Why does my cutting board need Board Butter?
Wood naturally dries out over time. Regularly applying Board Butter helps nourish the wood, maintain its finish, and keep your board looking beautiful.
What’s in it?
Just two ingredients: organic MCT oil + beeswax. Nothing else.
Does it contain mineral oil?
No. Our Board Butter contains no mineral oil or other petroleum derived oils.
Does it contain any synthetic ingredients?
No. There are no synthetic fragrances, dyes, polyurethane, or unnecessary additives.
How do I use it?
Start with a clean, completely dry board. Apply a small amount of Board Butter evenly across the wood and work it into the surface. Allow it to absorb for 15 minutes, then buff away any excess with a clean, dry cloth.
How often should I use it?
Whenever your board begins to look or feel dry. How often will depend on how frequently you use and wash your board. We recommend around once a month.
Can I use it on other wooden kitchenware?
Yes. Board Butter can be used to condition unfinished or oil finished wooden utensils, butcher blocks, and other wood kitchen surfaces. Always check the care instructions for the specific item first.
Why MCT oil instead of mineral oil?
We wanted an alternative to the petroleum derived mineral oil commonly used on wooden cutting boards. Organic MCT oil and beeswax give us a simple finish made from ingredients we intentionally chose for a surface that comes into contact with food.
