Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Bread makers measure and mix raw materials such as flour and yeast, handle a series of processes including fermentation, shaping, and baking, and mass-produce bread in factories or bakeries.
Description
Bread makers accurately measure ingredients such as flour, yeast, sugar, and water based on recipes, knead them in a mixer to make dough, ferment the dough at appropriate temperatures and times, shape it using machines or by hand, and then bake it in an oven. In line production, machine operation, quality checks, and hygiene management are important, and process management skills to meet deadlines and production volumes are also required. They may also be involved in developing new products or seasonal items, and daily tasks include cleaning, inspections, and record-keeping in compliance with hygiene regulations.
Future Outlook
With increasing demand for health-oriented and high-value-added breads, stable job openings are expected. While automation and IoT implementation will improve efficiency, artisans' skills and new product development capabilities will continue to be valued.
