Mr Santos: Customers expect fresh bread before eight, and ovens need time to heat properly. I like mornings because the street is quiet, but afternoons feel busy when schools finish and families buy rolls for dinner.
Reporter: Do you enjoy baking every day?
Mr Santos: I love making dough, and my assistant Ana loves decorating cakes for birthdays on weekends. She does not like waking at five, but she likes seeing smiles when children open boxes at parties in the afternoon.
Reporter: Who taught you this trade?
Mr Santos: My uncle taught me in his kitchen when I was sixteen, and he showed me how to fold pastry because patience creates better layers. He gave me his old scales, and I still use them on the counter near the window.
Reporter: What happens on Saturdays at your shop?
Mr Santos: At seven we open the door, and regular clients queue for croissants because the recipe changed little in twenty years. I greet them by name, and I save loaves for Mrs Cole when she calls from home on Friday evenings.
Reporter: Does Ana work with you every day?
Mr Santos: She works from Tuesday to Saturday, and she trains a new student on Mondays when deliveries arrive from the mill on River Road. The student does not know every task yet, but he likes learning from Ana because she explains steps clearly.
Reporter: Why do people choose your bakery?
Mr Santos: They like honest ingredients, and they trust us because we never sell old bread as fresh. Word spreads in the neighbourhood, and parents send notes with children when schools order snacks for trips in spring.
Reporter: What do you like outside the shop?
Mr Santos: I like walking by the river at six in the evening when ovens cool down, and I enjoy reading cookbooks before sleep at ten. Baking fills my days, but quiet hours keep my mind calm after long shifts.
Reporter: Any advice for young readers?
Mr Santos: Practice small recipes often, and ask teachers questions because mistakes teach faster than perfect first tries. I failed many loaves before success, and each error showed me what to change the next morning at work.
