Stroopwafel Baking Workshop Amsterdam: Make Dutch Waffles

Roll dough and cook stroopwafels on a traditional iron, then seal them with warm syrup

A 45-minute stroopwafel baking workshop in Amsterdam where you learn to make the Dutch treat from scratch under guidance from a professional instructor. You mix the dough, cook it on a traditional iron, drizzle the syrup filling, and leave with two freshly baked XL stroopwafels and a baking certificate. No prior cooking experience is needed.

The Experience

You've got a free afternoon in Amsterdam and want to do something more than walk the canals. This workshop puts you in a cosy venue in the city center where the smell of caramel and fresh dough is already in the air when you arrive. A professional guide walks you through the 45-minute session in English, starting with the history of stroopwafels—a Dutch specialty since the 18th century—before moving into the hands-on part.

You'll put on an apron and watch the guide demonstrate the technique: mixing the dough, rolling it out, and cooking it on a traditional iron to get that golden, crispy texture. Then you do it yourself. The guide is there to help you nail the cooking time and the thickness. Once your wafel comes off the iron, you drizzle warm syrup—the stroop—between the two thin layers and press them together. The whole process is straightforward; no baking experience is required, and the guide keeps the pace easy enough that you're not stressed about getting it right.

While your waffles cool, you sit down with coffee or tea and chat with the other people in the workshop. You leave with two XL stroopwafels you made, a certificate, and the knowledge of how to make them at home. The workshop runs 45 minutes total, so it fits into a half-day without eating up your whole afternoon.
