Introduction to Baking

BAKING can refer to either:

a. what baker does from the time he steps into the kitchen to the time he steps out

b. actual baking process: step done to close one bread and open another.

Bakes can be either "full" bakes (when bread is staffed) or e-bakes (e = emergency bakes) when it is not.

Regular bakes are done by a regular baker; e-bakes can be done by anyone and vary in quality (kek).

Collecting notable posts

Usually done by on-duty baker but may be collected by a note-taker who hands them off to baker just before the end of bake (around @600 - @650).

Key Points:

1. When going on or off duty, or posting anything important:

ALWAYS TAG THE DOUGH POST PLUS RECENT NOTABLE LISTS.

1. Let other note-takers or bakers know when you must leave.

2. Try not to ghost the bread (leave wo/a baker). In unavoidable, give advance notice.

3. Don't be afraid to talk to anons – to ask for sauce, feedback, say tx, etc. They appreciate it.
