Job description for Bread Baker at Dearborn
Entry-level applicants welcome • Professional bakery experience valued •
About the role
Dearborn is looking for someone who wants to become an exceptional professional bread baker - not someone seeking a fun hobby, temporary change of pace, or casual creative outlet. We take bread seriously. Baking starts early, is physically demanding, and requires discipline and consistency every day. We can teach technique, but we cannot teach work ethic, humility, reliability, or pride in the craft.
Key responsibilities
Mix and prepare doughs; shape, proof, score, and bake bread.
Maintain fermentation schedules, scale ingredients, and prepare production.
Clean and care for bakery equipment while upholding food-safety standards.
Work closely with the team to deliver consistent quality every day.
About you
A good attitude, strong work ethic, and genuine commitment to becoming a professional baker.
Punctual, dependable, physically capable, and willing to work early mornings.
Comfortable with repetitive, detail-oriented work where consistency matters.
Able to take feedback, follow instructions, and improve through daily practice.
Proud of producing quality work - even when nobody is watching.
For Experienced Bakers
A solid understanding of sourdough fundamentals, fermentation, proofing, and baker's percentages.
Confidence in dough handling, shaping, scoring, and baking.
The ability to work efficiently while maintaining consistent quality.
The humility to learn our systems, follow our recipes, and execute to our standards.
