What does an AM Baker do?

An AM Baker is responsible for preparing and baking bread, pastries, and other baked goods early in the morning to ensure fresh products are available for customers when a bakery opens. They typically start work before dawn, handling tasks such as mixing dough, shaping products, monitoring baking times, and ensuring high standards of cleanliness and food safety.

Familiarity with commercial ovens, mixers, proofers, and inventory management systems is typically required.
