"We feel fortunate at Boulted Bread in Raleigh to still be operating despite losing wholesale orders; we miss baking for restaurant partners and emphasize being a bedrock for our people, and doing a little dance when someone buys a gift card underscores how meaningful that support is right now." - Jenn Rice
"During a four-day visit the author ate at least one item from this bakery each day and raved about the house-milled flour and intensely flavored levain—tangy, soft webs of sourdough with a perfectly crunchy crust. A dense rye loaf and fantasies of grits bread fried in butter stood out, while baker Josh Bellamy’s pastries—especially a deeply browned, textbook-perfect raspberry jam pinwheel and a rutabaga turnover—showcased expert lamination. An everything-bagel–spiced croissant produced audible flaky shards with each bite and was called the best the author had ever had. Sat on a small, sunlit patio, the overall combination of exceptional flour, technique, and pastries left the author almost lovesick and loath to leave." - ByAlex Delany
"Welcome to the bakery and stone mill on the edge of town that creates such gorgeous breads and pastries that James Beard Award winner Ashley Christensen would call them “so damn good.” The goods are baked with organic, heirloom and locally sourced grains, from the seeded levain (studded with flax, sesame and sunflower seeds) to the croissants and pastries graced with seasonal fruits and vegetables. There’s seating to accommodate the sudden, pre-brunch cravings as well. Opt for a picnic table on the patio." - Katie Toussaint
