Responsibilities

• Actively participate in both artisanal bread processes (mixing, shaping, proofing, baking) and delicate pastry creation.
• Read and follow complex, structured recipes with high precision, accurately weighing materials and heritage grains to manage portions and reduce waste.
• Safely and efficiently run professional kitchen machinery, including large industrial ovens, proofers, mixers, and dough sheeters.
• Foster a positive, helpful team culture centered on mutual accountability and shared kitchen responsibilities.
• Help the leadership team with research and development (R&D) for seasonal menu updates, smoothly blending fresh fruits and specialty grains from our partner farms into the baking line.
