Head Baker (Bread) - Full Time
About Louf
Louf is a vibrant, innovative bakery in Amsterdam, dedicated to traditional artisanal sourdough bread. We embrace craftsmanship with a focus on high-hydration techniques, using carefully selected grains, seeds, and ingredients sourced from family-run farms. Our team is passionate, hardworking, and committed to producing exceptional bread every day. Trust and teamwork form the foundation of our success.
We like to be more than just a bakery, a place where people can connect over buttery croissants, specialty coffee, and good vibes. With three neighborhood locations, each Louf has its own atmosphere. Whether you're easing into the day with coffee and a croissant, having lunch with friends on a sunny terrace, or grabbing a quick takeaway, we’ve got you covered.
With a culinary background (you may know us from Café Binnenvisser), we have our own take on baking. Our mission? To lift our customers’ spirits through warm, welcoming spaces and good bread, supporting daily rituals.
We’re looking for a passionate and experienced Head Baker to lead and lift up the spirit of the team. You’ll be responsible for overseeing the entire bread bakers team, planning production schedules, leading recipe innovation, and ensuring compliance with food safety standards. You will act as a key contact point for management, bridging day-to-day operations with our long-term vision. The role requires presence during production, but also a sense of ownership that goes beyond the schedule. You feel responsible for the bigger picture – from quality to team – and step in when needed.
