ABOUT US

We are launching a micro bakery with a bold twist: combining the craft of slow fermentation and artisan baking with the flavours of India. From masala sourdoughs and cardamom cookies to saffron brioches and naan focaccias, everything is made in small batches, by hand, using seasonal and authentic ingredients.
As a micro bakery, we’ll be working lean – a small team, a few ovens, lots of creativity – but with big ambitions to grow into a brand recognised for flavour and craftsmanship.

DUTIES

• Assist in the preparation and production of baked goods, including bread, pastries, and cakes.
• Follow recipes and instructions to ensure consistency and quality in all products.
• Maintain the cleanliness and organisation of the bakery area, adhering to food safety standards.
• Operate kitchen equipment safely and efficiently.
• Help with inventory management by tracking supplies and notifying management of low stock levels.
• Collaborate with team members to ensure smooth operations during busy periods.
• Participate in training sessions to enhance culinary skills and knowledge of baking techniques.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We’re looking for a skilled, passionate Artisan Baker to join us at the very beginning. This role is ideal for someone who loves hands-on baking in small batches, thrives in a close-knit team, and is excited to help shape a bakery from scratch.
You’ll be responsible for mixing, shaping, baking, and creating daily breads and pastries while maintaining quality and consistency.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Produce small-batch artisan breads, pastries, and sweet bakes with Indian flavour influences.
• Maintain sourdough starters and fermentation schedules.
• Prepare and bake daily products in limited-production ovens.
• Ensure food safety, hygiene, and allergen procedures (HACCP compliance).
• Assist with daily prep, packaging, and counter/display setup.
• Support testing of new recipes and seasonal specials.
• Work early mornings and adapt to the micro bakery rhythm.
• Interact with local customers (farmers markets, café counter) where needed.
