Boulted Bread in Raleigh Delivering Delicious Carbs in Loaf Form!

Boulted Bread, Raleigh- This new artisanal bakery is delivering lovingly, hand-crafted carbs in bread and pastry form. Don't miss out on their loaves...

(New location at 328 Dupont Circle in May 2023)  There’s something amazing about a good loaf of bread.  Thick crackly crust, soft leavened insides with just the right amount of pull and chew.  We’ve been blessed in Raleigh with the arrival of first, Yellow Dog Bakery and now, Boulted Bread!  I had seen an article about the three founders of Boulted Bread in IndyWeek and it piqued my curiosity.  Over the course of three visits, color me impressed and carb’ed up…

Boulted Bread sits in a quiet spot off of Boylan Heights on South Street.  The right you’ve got the Men at Work car wash and barber shop.  Across the street the Ice Market and a church.  But there on a corner in the burnished blue storefront and garage roll-up door is Boulted Bread!  It’s a pretty tiny (cozy) space and an interesting mix of hipster and old school Raleigh.  Small display counter up front, check out the chalkboard on the side-wall to get an idea of what’s on the bread menu for the day.  While the shop may open at 8am, the breads were scheduled to come out at 8:30 am and 12:30 pm during my visit.  For my visit, Boulted Bread had Levain (sourdough), rye, ciabatta, and baguettes in the oven…

In addition to the breads, you’ll find a lovely display of pastries ranging from croissants to buns and tarts.  I’m making some seafood stew that night so I order up  a loaf of levain ($6.50) and a pull-apart bun made with raspberry jam and Escazu chocolate ($4) .  While prices at Boulted are on the slightly higher side, you do get the comfort of knowing you’re support some baking artisans and the local economy which is always a good thing.  At home I pull the bread out of the loaf and it’s a wonderfully crusty and slightly burnished exterior with a super soft and elastic interior.  There’s a lot of glutinous texture to this Levain loaf and the hit of sour makes it perfect to be paired with my cioppino for the evening.  I didn’t get to the bun that evening but snacked on it the next day and it was solid too.

So thanks for perking up this neighborhood with your wonderful baked goods, Boulted Bread!  While you’ve only been up and running for several months, I think your breads may be on par with my bakery fave, La Farm.  And with Yellow Dog Bread Company on the east side and Boulted Bread right in the center of downtown Raleigh, we are looking good for all manners of baked goods and breads.   I’m already looking forward to my next visit…
