Raleigh's bread scene has serious credentials. Boulted Bread, founded in 2014, mills its own organic grain on a stone mill and sells out its sourdough, while La Farm, the Triangle's premier French boulangerie from James Beard-nominated Master Baker Lionel Vatinet, covers the city from Creekside to Glenwood South.
