Baker

food · crafts · jobs

Master of dough. Bakers mix flour, water, yeast, and salt to create dough, then shape it and bake it in hot ovens to make bread that's crusty on the outside and soft inside.

Early morning work. Most bakers wake up before sunrise so fresh bread is ready when people want breakfast or want to buy bread for lunch.

Bakery is their shop. A bakery is the building where bakers work and sell their creations, and the smell of warm bread baking is one of the best smells in the world.

More than just bread. Bakers don't only make loaves, they also create cakes, pastries, cookies, donuts, and other treats using similar baking skills.

Chemistry in action. Baking is like doing science, because yeast makes tiny bubbles in dough that help bread rise, and heat transforms the mixture into something completely new.
