Making fresh doughnuts daily for the 30A area, the cleverly named Dough Sea Dough serves Santa Rosa Beach and Seagrove Beach. The bakers and other staff that makeup Dough Sea Dough provide the largest selection of donuts in all of 30A. With both take-out and eat-in options, guests can enjoy doughnuts, of course, but also partake of a wonderful breakfast and satisfy their sweet tooth with other desserts.
The historic beginning of doughnuts finds its start way back into the history books as archaeologists have found fossilized bits of what appear to be prehistoric offerings of our modern-day favorites. When it comes to the doughnut as we see today, it allegedly found its beginning in Manhattan when a delicious concoction was created that was nicknamed “oily cakes.”
Moving into the mid-19th Century, the somewhat negative description of a doughnut gave way to a less greasy version that was created by Elizabeth Gregory, who was a ship captain’s mother. She cleverly deep-fried her son’s spice cargo, using cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon rind. She made them in the modern shape supposedly as a way to help store the pastries on long voyages. She created a hole in the center where the dough would not cook into the center by inserting walnuts or hazelnuts to keep the dough from spreading throughout the space. This is, as legend says, why they are called doughnuts!
Whatever the beginnings of our modern-day doughnuts, a stop at Dough Sea Dough will give you some delicious options to choose from in the present day, thanks to their immense variety of doughnuts and more. While there are many goodies to try, be sure to try the following when visiting Dough Sea Dough…
