About The Position

Our obsession with quality is part of the passion here at Fresh Baguette. Take, for example, the process of making our signature baguettes: a cold-dough process that produces unique flavors, homemade “levain”, and made using state-of-the-art equipment imported from France. The end result is a baguette that is authentic with moisture and just the right crunch. In addition, it takes two days, 11 steps, carefully selected ingredients, and the skill of a pastry chef to make our soft and flaky, mouthwateringly tender croissant. Our master baker leaves nothing to chance and uses the best French techniques in everything we create for our guests. About The Role We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Assistant Baker to join our Mixing department at our Fresh Baguette Germantown production center, 19548 Amaranth Drive Germantown, MD 20874.
