The King Arthur Flour Bakery: Artisans at Work

[420protoman]

so i think my career as a baker has finished just as fast as it started. my bakery manager says on my first day this "we'll see how fast you can do muffins on monday morning and if you can't go fast enough you will have to not work here anymore" they are both rude to me on my first day , the assistant manager just was in a bad mood cuz he kept saying he's in a rush because he wants to go home and was all cranky. are all bakery's like this. crabby people that don't even give anyone a chance.

i'm just a young guy trying to start out as a baker but i think it's over because they only want speed not quality. their stuff is all frozen mostly.

nice video but would have liked to have seen the crumb. and curious why no digital scales were being used...?

[KingArthurFlour]

@AbstractMan23 I checked with Martin Philip, our bakery operations manager, and here's what he said: Digital scales are used for weighing out formulas (scaling portions of flour, water, salt, yeast, etc.), but balance beam scales are the artisan industry standard for hand-dividing loaves because, in the hands of an experienced baker, they are faster. Some items, due to their size, are divided with the digital.

Thanks for asking! -Allison@KAF

@KingArthurFlour interesting, thanks for letting me know.

[KingArthurFlour]

@cherd1971 Sorry, we don't sell the breads online at this time. BUT we do have over 1,500 free recipes on our site. Come on over and try a few!

Just used King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour to bake bread and it was delicious. I love using my Cuisnart food processor to knead my bread. Does a great job kneading!

[KingArthurFlour]

This is a wonderful flour to use for many baked items. Glad you found it. Joan @kaf
