You caught me! I'll have to work on my red-cabbage-stirring-technique to avoid the apples falling out in the future. I can do that! 💪
The bakery like that was probably in 2018 during the strikes. Back then, it wasn't as much as now. In a good week, we go through around 300kg of flour, which translates to roughly 600 loaves in 5 baking days, so around 120 loaves per night. But most of it is actually buns, which is a lot more work and space. For tomorrow we have planned:
6 normal baguettes
6 big baguettes
12 english muffins
2 focaccia trays (2,5kg each)
3 loaves fine herb bread
8 fine herb baguettes
55 hamburger buns
28 pretzel buns
10 medium sub buns
230 small sub buns
10 hot dog buns
1 apple cake
12 apple muffins
18 blueberry muffins
9 white sourdough loaves
3 round loaves of white sourdough
2 blueberry cakes
4 loaves walnut raisin bread
12 walnut raisin buns
4 loaves potato bread
12 loaves sourdough seed bread (whole wheat)
10 sourdough seed baguettes
15 sourdough seed sub buns
9 loaves walnut rye bread
That's a fairly good day, which is nice as we have to step on the gas pedal a little, revenue wise. The hard work on quality in the last 6 weeks seems to be noticed :-)
wow, that's a busy bakery! What fun it must be for your customers, trying an item or two, here-and-there! 😋
It is! Start at around 8-9pm, walk out in zombie-state around 7 - 8am. That's why nobody works more than 3 nights a week, and the wages are accordingly (45-50% of the income goes into wages). Everything is very efficient :-D
