Early Morning Bread Baker – The Detroit Slice
About Us
At The Detroit Slice, we’re not just slinging pizza—we’re bringing the unapologetic soul of Detroit to the UK streets. Every slice, every crust, every loaf screams raw authenticity, bold energy, and damn good flavour. Inspired by Motor City's relentless hustle, we’re building a brand that’s gritty, dynamic, and unforgettable. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get your hands (and apron) dusty, keep reading.
The Role
We’re on the hunt for badass Early Morning Bread Bakers to fire up our kitchen. You’ll start early (around 6 AM), kneading, shaping, and baking the bread and dough that fuel our iconic Detroit-style pizza. Your shift will run until around 12 PM—meaning your workday wraps up just in time to soak up the afternoon. If you’ve got a love for craft baking, precision, and that early morning grind, you’ll fit right in.
Responsibilities
✅ Mix, proof, and bake doughs according to The Detroit Slice’s house recipes.
✅ Ensure consistent quality—our thick, fluffy crusts are the backbone of our brand.
✅ Maintain clean, organized baking stations (we run a tight ship).
✅ Prep ingredients, manage oven timings, and monitor dough fermentation like a pro.
✅ Work closely with the kitchen team to ensure daily product needs are smashed out.
✅ Handle morning deliveries and ingredient stock checks with sharp attention to detail.
✅ Stick to food safety and hygiene standards—no shortcuts, no compromises.
✅ Bring the energy! If there’s a camera rolling for a cheeky behind-the-scenes post, you’re not shy to jump in.
What We’re Looking For
- Previous experience in baking, pastry, or professional kitchens is a serious plus but not essential.

- Grit, hustle, and pride in your craft—you care about every single loaf you pull out the oven.
- Team player attitude with great communication skills.
- A passion for food, community, and good vibes.
