5 AM BAKING shift | A day in the life of A BAKER

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Could you imagine yourself being an early bird baker? 🐦

[@WildBakerCrew]

I am 😅 never liked the early morning shifts... But like the job 😁 nice video camarade, and you got the cup. 🎊

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

@@WildBakerCrew hey! First of all, thank you! I am celebrating today with all Argentinians!🏆🎉 And regarding the shift, yes it’s kind of nice to start early, time literally flies in the morning! Saludos desde Madrid!☺️

[@AdamFTC]

Not anymore. I worked as a baker/confectioner for long time. At the end of the week I was absolute exhausted. I prefer work in the kitchen as a pastry chef. I start around 10-11. And don’t need to moving and lifting the 25-50kg sugar and flour bags.

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

@@AdamFTC hey! Yes indeed it takes a toll on your health. When I worked at the restaurant was long and busy but no heavy lifting for sure. For one more reason I like the bakery is because you finish and you go, at the restaurant was never ending special requests, late shifts and then early next day.. 🤪 however, loved it souch! 😊

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

@AQUA VIRTUOSA hey! Thank you so so much!:))

[@AleSalvino]

Thanks for sharing this to show people how challenging your job is. You even film it and share it with the world! Keep it up!

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Omg you are amazing! Thank you so much!!☺️ can be challenging sometimes but yes I put all my energy into KZbin ☺️ thank you one more time🙏

[@mildasutkuviene6310]

Regardless of the length of Kristina's video, time just flies while watching it. Amazing personalized videos that show not only the professional path, but also the details of personal life❤️

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

I am so glad you enjoyed the part of personal life too! :)) that’s kind of a part where people normally don’t know so wanted to show how my videos reach the light:) Ačiū labai❣️

[@Pita_Project]

Hi Kris! Thank you for all your time and effort to make those videos! I decided to search for videos about baker’s life, and so glad to find out your channel, as I feel like baking is something that I love and always enjoyed doing. As you said in one of your videos “you don’t become a baker to earn a lot of money and it’s not a job that can be forced”. Your videos were so inspiring and I can say that it seems that you also love what you do and you do it from your heart and that is satisfying to watch, people that enjoy and are happy with their jobs! I wish that I will also reach that point soon! Sending you many greetings from Berlin! ❤ P.s i hate to wake up early, but when you do something that you love you can over come the fact that you have to wake up from 4am-5am 😂

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hello! Very true, when you love you what you do it suddenly becomes easier, however the ‘sleeping part’ is still a struggle i must confess as to go to bed early is still hard🙈I m always curious to read what impact my video left, thanks so much for your message 😇warm regards from Madrid and live your passion! 🔥

[@thomasdecarlo8543]

Ohhhhhh …cinnamon rolls and elephant ears …. An every day all day addition … any time any place …. With coffee or a latte … a happy man

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hey Thomas, haha cinnamon buns are my favourite too! My fav moment of my shift is when baristas arrive and immediately do any coffee you want, uhh what a treat! One of these little baker's joys 😁 thank you and see you soon!

[@DanH616]

Incredible work! both in the kitchen, and in the video production.

Finally I know what you do from 4.15 am haha, I need to try the coconut macaroon! Peeling those apples omg, it takes a while I imagine! I'm not a fan of croissants but those look delicious! Pain au chocolate my favourite ever :) Rolling brioche still your favourite activity I see 😀 I loved the ending where you share more of the behind the scenes, people don't believe but making videos on KZbin really takes a while, so happy you shared that piece too! Another great video. Soon the documentary of A Day In The Life 👩‍🍳

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hey! Yes living and sharing my baking days haha! It's hard to explain sometimes how my days look like and why I am a little bit tired afterwards 🤪 hope you got some answers😇 thank you so much for your endless support! see you in part 11 😎

That was my favorite shift. 5am to 1pm baking kolaches, now I dont like any shifts after 7am. Thanks for your awesome content!!

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hello Raul! I really don’t mind early shifts, wouldn’t want to come to 3-11pm. 😁 It’s also nice the tranquillity when we start, then more and more people come and gets soo busy 🤓 Thank You so so much! Appreciate yiur comment!

[@acquij]

those almond and pistachio croissants look absolutely majestic

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Very generous 😎😀

[@DaporotiYat]

I am learning to make croissants. Everytime i want to give up... I sit down and watch you make and shape croissants... Then i get up and start again.

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

that's the spirit! 👏well done, thank you so much!

[@blueberryblues3365]

Hey Kris! This was so informative. Like seeing all the bakes and some displayed in the bakery. When I worked, I went into NY city early and it was not as empty as Madrid. Some people were just coming home from nites out! Haha. Your bakery has so many varieties, one more delicious looking than the next. I still want to try the stuffed croissants- have never seen them for sale any where. What was in the pot you stirred right before making the pastry cream- it was dark and thick? Vanilla paste? And thanks for showing us part of the home set up of lighting etc. That last photo looked great- what was it? It looked like your chocolate puff pasty with cherries? Super delish! Mmmmmm. Have a very Merry Xmas to you and cutie pie. Xxoo

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hello! Thank you so much! Some days are crazy, especially Fridays and Saturdays, now during this festive period streets are absolutely full 😃🕺🏻 Double bakes are so common in Europe, pretty much every bakery makes them. This type ( I mean extremely generous) are not that common but in other words almond/hazelnut/pistachio croissants are common. Yes that black tub was Vanilla paste :) My pleasure, always like to reveal some bits about my after work activities :) and that chocolate pastry was this one, have a look (chocolate danish with cherries and curd) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHzJZ3d3n8Z7f68 Wishing you the best time during the 'fiestas' :)) see you very soon!😇

So I very very sadly have learned that I'm gluten intolerant. But even so, if I could just go stand inside a bakery to smell it at 5am every day, I would. Just watching this made me crave a roll

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hey, really sad news, must be a bit annoying to look at these gorgeous creations and not being able to try.🥲 did you look for gluten free options or you are not going to eat much of the sweets? haha thanks very much, the smell calls people far before opening time here in Madrid :)

[@DadThatCooks]

Do you think about other ways/things you can use instead of cling film wrap? It’s such a wasteful product but always been used in kitchens

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Totally agree, there are ways to reduce the amount of cling film and hope there were more chefs on the same page, unfortunately I don't own my bakery or kitchen so we apply the practiced ways . What are your suggestions on this?

[@mwanatz5980]

I wish I knew your recipe looks delicious 😋😍😍

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Thank you so much, honestly top quality:)🥹

[@dpclerks09]

What do you eat for breakfast? I feel like I don't have time to make anything, and when I was working in kitchens, I'd go without eating, because there would be staff meal at some point, but now working in a bakery there isn't one, so not eating before my shift really takes its toll on me throughout the day. I have to rely on caffeine, energy drinks, and my adrenaline, lol. It's definitely not healthy.

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hi Austin, I don't really have such a think as breakfast or lunch, it's more like having a piece of something and move on. I don't eat at home before leaving, I am not hungry at that time, so first bite would be something sweet with my morning coffee, later some bread maybe. So i kind of agree with you when you rely on caffeine, I eat properly when I come home, I got used to it :)

[@edinbaneallstar]

Amazing lol partner watching with me saying she so busy makes my bakers look lazy haha

Do you ever feel unsafe walking alone on the streets so early in the morning? Especially in London...

Hey! No, not really, this video was recorded in Madrid so at that time people are coming back from the parties, so I hardly ever walk alone on the streets. Madrid feels like a safe city :)
