- Monitor proofing and fermentation throughout the day, adjusting for temperature and humidity
- Maintain consistency and quality across batches
- Keep bread station, tools, and equipment clean and organized
- Manage daily production schedule to meet opening and retail case timing
- Collaborate with the pastry chef and kitchen team on overall production flow
What we're looking for:
- Experience working with artisan or naturally leavened breads (sourdough experience a strong plus)
- Comfortable with hand-shaping and scoring techniques
- Understanding of fermentation, proofing, and oven management
- Early-morning availability — bread waits for no one
- Strong time-management skills in a fast-paced production environment
- A genuine passion for the craft of bread baking
