About this position
Now Hiring: AM Baker / Dough & Pastry
Martha Dear is looking for an experienced AM Baker / Dough / Pastry cook to join our kitchen team.
We're a neighborhood restaurant built around naturally leavened pizza, our Greek roots, vegetables, and cooking from scratch. Our menu changes often, but our dough is at the center of our operation. We're looking for someone who is excited about the process as much as the finished product.
The heart of this position is dough production. The position responsibilities include mixing, fermenting, portioning, and shaping our naturally leavened pizza dough. Additionally, this position will include baking responsibilities, including desserts. We're looking for someone who is comfortable moving between dough production and pastry. Baking experience with naturally leavened dough is required. The right candidate cares about fermentation, consistency, quality ingredients, and works in a clean and organized manner.
This is a day-time position, approximately 30 hours per week, with a consistent AM Tuesday–Saturday schedule. Days begin at 9:00am. Friday and Saturday availability is required. If you like working with your hands, and get a little satisfaction from making something better every day, we'd love to hear from you.
