Washington D.C. Is America s Next Great Bakery Town Regan Stephens
Has there ever been a year when baking and eating baked goods made more sense?
While many of us were homebound and anxious, we whipped up breads, babkas, and cookies. We scoured online grocers for flour, cleared supermarket shelves of yeast, and nurtured sourdough starters like they were our own children.
But there s never been a better time to buy baked goods, either. One place, in particular, really took it to the next level: Washington, D.C. Not only was the city the birthplace of Bakers Against Racism the worldwide bake sale that raises money for organizations that support Black Lives Matter it’s also been home to a boom in bakeries this year, both from homegrown shops and well-known transplants.
