Just like modern bakers, they made bread.
Bakers were found primarily in towns and cities. Bread was one of the staple foods of the middle ages. Most homes did not have an oven, just a hearth or a fireplace, so medieval people did not generally bake their bread at home, but bought it already made from a bakery.
The baker was a member of the baker's guild, and was considered a skilled artisan. Bakeries employed numbers of semi-skilled workers for the monotonous and laborious parts of the bread making process, such as kneading and mixing. People doing those jobs would not considered "bakers" and would not have been guild members.
In the small villages things were somewhat different. As in the towns, most homes would not have an oven, as they were expensive to construct and to fuel. The village wife paid for access to a village oven, owned by the local lord, for making her bread. Having one or more large ovens that were shared was far more cost efficient, and was also a source of revenue for the lord.
