What Bakers Do!

 

Bakers mix ingredients according to recipes in order to make breads, pastries, and other baked goods.

 

Duties of Bakers

 

Bakers typically do the following:

 

Check the quality of baking ingredients

Prepare equipment for baking

Measure and weigh flour and other ingredients

Combine measured ingredients in mixers or blenders

Knead, roll, cut, and shape dough

Place dough into pans, into molds, or onto baking sheets

Set oven temperatures and place items into ovens or onto grills

 

The following are examples of types of bakers:

 

Commercial bakers, also called production bakers, work in manufacturing facilities that produce breads, pastries, and other baked products. In these facilities, bakers use high-volume mixing machines, ovens, and other equipment, which may be automated, to mass-produce standardized baked goods. They carefully follow instructions for production schedules and recipes.

 

Retail bakers work primarily in grocery stores and specialty shops, including bakeries. In these settings, they produce smaller quantities of baked goods for people to eat in the shop or for sale as specialty baked goods. Retail bakers may take orders from customers, prepare baked products to order, and occasionally serve customers. Although the quantities prepared and sold in these stores are often small, they usually come in a wide variety of flavors and sizes. Most retail bakers are also responsible for cleaning their work area and equipment and unloading supplies.

 

Some retail bakers own bakery shops where they make and sell breads, pastries, pies, and other baked goods. In addition to preparing the baked goods and overseeing the entire baking process, they are also responsible for hiring, training, and supervising their staff. They must budget for and order supplies, set prices, and decide how much to produce each day.
