This place is absolutely fantastic. Down the hidden ways of Pearl Street in Bloomfield, behind the indent of the 300 block you find this stowaway of craft baking. Upon walking you are immediately hit with the aroma of blackened crust of artisan loaves which are prominently displayed in grabbing distance at the storefront. You are greeted immediately by one of the floured up bakers or the equally floured up owner who are more than eager to let you try the daily bakes..
When I was there we had an assortment of three breads which varied at the level of locally sourced flour. You are give smidgens to try [do feel free to chat back and forth in debate of your favorite]. Once you select your favorite [or 3] your loaf is cut to sized and sold by weight, a concept that is just fantastic and gives you more control of your budget as well as your portion size.
Next, as you wander down the ramp you hit a selection of daily made pizzas that can also be purchased by weight. We had a selection of two despite having just had lunch because the smell is just irresistible. One slice was the potato pizza [yes i know carbs] which was pretty much perfectly scalloped potatoes over artisan bread infused with rosemary. A perfect polishgirl dish. The second slice was my favorite a ramp and stracciatella [stretched curd cheese] combination that was simultaneously sweet [from the curd cheese] and savory [with your hint of garlic] at once. fantastic. Especially when consumed on a sunny saturday midday on a random porch in Bloomfield.
Altogether we came out fantastically happy, flour infused and satisfied girls. Keep up the good work Bread and Salt and it will not be long before I return.
