What They Do

Bakers transform raw ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and yeast into breads, pastries, cakes, and other baked goods that people enjoy daily. They begin their workdays early, often starting before dawn to ensure fresh products are ready when customers arrive. Throughout their shifts, they measure and mix ingredients according to precise recipes, monitoring dough as it rises and adjusting oven temperatures to achieve perfect results. They operate commercial mixers, proof boxes, and large ovens, often producing hundreds of items in a single day.
