Boulted Bread


Aaron and I (and Levi) went to a fantastic bakery in Raleigh this morning, Boulted Bread. It was recommended to us by a baker friend, and when we saw it opened at 7:00 am on weekdays, we were there. When you have a toddler that wakes at 6:00 every morning, you're always looking for something that's open early. This place was good. So simple - a handful of incredible pastries, hot or iced coffee and tea, and their four signature breads. That's it. Outside there are picnic tables lined with veggie and herb raised planters. It's set in an old historic, walkable neighborhood, Boylan Heights, just on the edge of gentrification.
The pastries were the most flaky and flavorful I've had. The bread we got, their signature, Levian, tasted like a sour rye but with a chewy crust and soft moist crumb. It was really special. It was a little pricey- otherwise we'd be there a few times a week, I'm sure. Aaron had his bread book out as soon as we had the bread, so maybe we'll solve that problem with a home version.
