Baker

A baker makes bread, rolls, and other tasty baked things from flour, water, yeast, and a pinch of salt. They weigh everything carefully, mix the dough in a big bowl, and squish and fold it with their hands until it feels soft and stretchy. For example, they shape little balls of dough into rolls, let them rest and puff up, and slide them into a hot oven on a long wooden paddle. Then they wait for the golden crust and that warm, yummy smell.

When a baker does their job well, people have fresh food to share at the table. Someone might grab a loaf for a family sandwich, a roll for a school lunch, or a birthday cake for a friend. A baker also thinks about what each person needs, like a softer bread for little teeth. They help everyday meals feel warm and special.
