Slow Rise – Sourdough Doughnuts

Overview

At Slow Rise, we use time-honored techniques, we carefully prepare each batch of dough to achieve the perfect texture and flavor. Our sourdough starter (Bubbles) adds a unique tangy note to each doughnut, which is then fried to a crispy golden brown and tossed in sugar, resulting in a heavenly combination of sweet and tangy flavors.

We're a local business that specializes in making sourdough doughnuts that are light, fluffy, and simply irresistible. Our founder, Jessica Dunkel, is a food scientist who has always had a passion for baking. She started experimenting with sourdough doughnuts as a way to combine her love of baking with her scientific knowledge of fermentation and dough development.

Slow Rise officially launched at the Lawrence Farmers Market in Lawrence, Kansas, where Jessica sold her first batch of sourdough doughnuts to an eager crowd of early morning shoppers. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and it was clear that Jessica had struck a chord with her unique twist on the classic doughnuts.

Since then, Slow Rise has opened their own brick & mortar store in Overland Park. The store is currently in their soft opening phase, and are opening sporadically on Fridays and Saturdays for the foreseeable future.
