Hartog's Wholegrain Bakery and Milling

The 23 Best Restaurants in Amsterdam, the Netherlands | Eater

"Hartog’s has been selling whole wheat bread in Amsterdam since 1896, and the bakery has been milling its own flour in the center of the city for nearly as long. Today, nearly everything is made with house-milled, Dutch-grown, whole wheat flour, including the oliebollen (Dutch New Year’s doughnuts), some of the best in town thanks to the whole wheat’s depth, a flawlessly crunchy exterior, and a coating of powdered sugar. While the oliebollen are only available in the winter, summer brings other treats, like speculaas ice cream sandwiches rolled in roasted hazelnuts, candied ginger, and rosemary, or crumbled sportbeschuit, a type of whole wheat cookie that the bakery’s been making for about a hundred years. Best for: A little snack to keep you going while on a long bike ride around the city." - Katharine Khamhaengwong
