Seeking a Bulkie Recipe... any Green St. bakery veterans in this sub?

Submitted by mattyflavor t3_10tpdrp in WorcesterMA

TLDR: Bulkie recipes are rare and the ones I've found aren't right... seeking help!

So, I moved from Worcester County a long time ago... and there are a few things I really, really miss. Bulkies are high on that list.

I've been experimenting for a couple months and have come close, but there's details I'm missing.

I hope someone in the sub has worked at one of the old Green Street bakeries or has a recipe or "knows some things"... so to speak.

It's kind of spooky, to be honest... like a bread fight club. The folks that know how to make a proper bulkie, don't talk about making proper bulkies! So... my DMs are open to protect your identity 😉.

Hard to get decent bulkies anymore. Lederman's had great ones.

S&S website says they're sourcing their bulkies from Culpepper's Bakery on Cambridge Street... if you wanted them even fresher!

Yup... my uncle and friends back there say there are a number of places carrying on the tradition, but for the life of me, I can't get a recipe!

Bulkie roll recipes are more top secret than the Krabby Patty formula.

I’ve never baked bread myself from scratch, but I grew up eating them in Milford because the Italian deli was a short walk away. Walking with my grandmother there was always a treat.

Indeed, Mr. Krabs has nothing on the keepers of the beloved Bulkie recipe. The 2 recipes I've worked with get close... but not quite. Thanks for sharing another idea!
