Assistant Baker: Artisan Bread and Pastry CastleDough is moving from wholesale to our retail storefront in Castle Rock this September. We are looking for an assistant baker to join the team starting this summer for R&D and menu development as we ramp up for the grand opening. This position starts with a focus on our naturally leavened sourdough and bread program. We have established specs for the bread, but your input will be highly valued as we build out both the bread and pastry menus. We are looking for someone with a strong technical foundation who wants to help shape the identity of the retail bakery. We are building a modern production space equipped with high-end equipment. Our bakery utilizes high quality ingredients sourced from local producers as much as we can. As such, we are looking for someone who has passion in farm to table concepts, regenerative farming, and a desire to work alongside those producers as we further develop our retail products. Summer R&D and Growth This role is unique because it begins with a paid development phase. During the summer, you will work directly with the owner and other bakers on product testing and refinement. As the retail location opens and grows, this position is designed to evolve into a lead role with more responsibility. We want someone who is looking for a career path, not just a job. Requirements * Graduate or student of a culinary or baking program preferred, but not required * Strong understanding of fermentation and artisan techniques * Reliability and a desire to be part of a ground floor launch * Knowledge of baker's percentages and hydration math * Ability to lift 50lbs and stand for 8 to 10 hour shifts * Strong focus on sanitation and maintaining a clean workspace How to Apply If you are ready to help continue to build our modern artisan bakery, send your resume and a brief note to: info@castledough.com
