As a busy coffee shop or cafe owner, you know that providing a delicious and varied selection of pastries is essential for attracting and retaining customers. But between managing your menu, ordering ingredients, and running your business, finding the time to bake fresh pastries can be a challenge. That’s where ready-to-bake pastries come in.

RTB pastries have several advantages over fresh-baked pastries. First, they are convenient. Frozen pastries are pre-made and ready to be baked, so you can easily add them to your menu without spending time and effort on preparation. Simply thaw the pastries and bake them according to the instructions on the package. This allows you to offer a wide range of pastries without the added time and labor of making them from scratch.

Second, ready-to-bake pastries are consistent. Because they are pre-made, frozen pastries are always the same size and shape. This means that you can be sure that your customers will get a consistent product every time they order. This consistency is especially important for items like croissants and Danish pastries, which can be difficult to make by hand.

Third, RTB pastries are cost-effective. Because they are pre-made, frozen pastries are typically less expensive than fresh-baked pastries. This means that you can offer a wider range of pastries to your customers without breaking the bank. And because frozen pastries have a longer shelf life than fresh pastries, you can stock up on them and be prepared for busy times without worrying about waste.

Fourth, frozen pastries are high-quality. At Dutchland Foods, we are dedicated to producing exceptional frozen pastries using only the highest-quality ingredients. We source our ingredients from reputable suppliers and use artisanal recipes to create delicious and authentic pastries. When you choose Dutchland Foods as your frozen pastry supplier, you can be sure that you are getting the best quality pastries on the market.

In conclusion, frozen pastries are a convenient, consistent, cost-effective, and high-quality option for busy coffee shops and cafes. At Dutchland Foods, we are proud to offer a wide range of frozen pastries to our wholesale and private label customers. We invite you to explore our product line and discover all the delicious options we have to offer.

In 1992, Pete and Susan Van Wyhe opened the doors of Dutchland Frozen Foods for the first time. Their first product? A hand-braided Danish pastry — carefully, skillfully, and patiently prepared with the kind of time and the right mentality that you only find in a small-town kitchen.

With the help and guidance of Pete’s parents, Wayne and Jennie, and a lot of faith, the Van Wyhes got to work in a renovated bank building on Main Street in Lester, Iowa. It was not pretty, but it had heart — and soon enough, the pastries spoke for themselves. The rich, buttery flavor and from-scratch quality every braid contained was unlike any other, and word got around. Customers loved it.

Success Based on Core Values

As news spread and sales flourished, Dutchland’s production capacity went along with it. In 2003, the Dutchland team expanded the facility by adding an additional 9,000 square feet — just a representation of the incredibly rapid growth of the company and the plan for the future. The growth in quantity also meant an ability to scale production, but their commitment to product quality never changed. From well-sourced ingredients to small batch testing, quality has always taken precedence. Dutchland ventured into fundraising in 2006 with the now beloved Pastry Puffins — light, flaky puff pastries stuffed with fruit or cheese topped with sugar crystals. In 2017, they launched ButterHearts, a new fundraising staple made with delicate layers of artisan puff pastry. Each product embodies their core values: baking with care, serving with purpose, and treating everyone like family.

Innovation with Tradition

Dutchland has grown into a nationally respected supplier of clean-label frozen pastries, hundreds of products in total and over 80 unique creations offered including the Pastry Puffin and ButterHeart, to thousands of foodservice operators, retailers, and private label clients across the country, in the decades since their humble beginnings.

The facility has evolved significantly to what you see today. There are multiple production lines, large volume blast freezers, a spiral proofer, and a full R&D department and still in Lester. Dutchland has received a BRC AA rating for food safety, launched private label partnerships, and in 2022 acquired Pappy’s Pie Dough to strengthen their grocery offerings.

How unique is that, considering the continued expansion are still grounded in the fact that it’s a family-run business. Now in the fourth generation, the Van Wyhe family continues to propel the company into new challenges with the same grit, faith, and family-first spirit that started it all.

A Pastry with A Story

Dutchland’s success has never been about the product alone — it is who and what comes with the product. It’s about the people involved: the employees who roll out the dough and the customers who receive the products and bake them fresh. Every part of the company reflects the legacy of Dutchland — tradition, trust, and taste.

Every pastry that ships out of the Dutchland facility, reflects a tiny piece of that legacy:

✅ Small-town craftsmanship

✅ Family-led principles

✅ Clean label

✅ Not sacrificing quality

Because Dutchland doesn’t make frozen pastries. They make food that feeds families, raises funds, builds communities, and brings people together.

Would you like to learn more about the products we offer or simply start a conversation to work together?

Let’s have a conversation; the next chapter of our story could start with you.

Why food safety and transparency are built into everything we do.

At Dutchland Foods, we’re proud to announce we’ve once again received a BRC AA rating – the highest possible food safety certification given to food manufacturers. While it is a significant achievement, it is just that for us, a significant achievement, not just a notable piece of paper to showcase for all to see. It represents how we conduct our business, our values and quality perspectives on every single batch of frozen pastries we manufacture.

Food safety is not an annual practice to us, it is inherent in our culture. We understand that food safety begins before a frozen pastry is packaged, from the production line to the packaging stage, we hold ourselves to a higher standard, and I believe we should.

The Clean Behind the Scenes

You can’t make high-quality pastries without a high-quality edible production environment. We’ve invested in many ways to ensure our facility works as hard as every person that steps foot in it including:

• Dedicated, insulated washroom solely designed for daily sanitization of equipment and utensils

• Color-coded sanitization systems to evade cross contamination of different zones

• Clearly marked, purpose built production zones that keep workflows clean and managed

• Daily cleaning procedures and quality control methods from start to finish

From cleaning floors, sanitizing trays or ensuring dough lines operational is running at peak, we take pride in the cleanliness of our facility that is directly correlated to the quality of our product.

Clean Ingredients as well

Of course, what goes into the product matters just as much. As a promise, our cleanliness doesn’t stop at the floor! it’s built into the dough.

Dutchland Foods is a manufacturer of clean label frozen pastries with simple easy to read ingredients. Many of our top sellers do not have:

• Any artificial dyes or preservatives

• Great quality European style butter.

• Convenience to bake without compromising taste or quality.

From croissants, danishes, filled Kouign Amann and even our Puffins as well as many others, we offer clean indulgence that the consumers and foodservice can feel good about offering to the public.

Safety you can taste

As a private label pastry partner and wholesale frozen bakery, we know our customers rely on us for more than the product, they are trusting their brand reputation with us. This is why we have packaged all of our frozen croissants, pie dough and specialty pastries with not only control measures, but also certified food safety practices recognized around the world.

The BRC AA rating is only one part of the plan, but an important part. This rating of our facilities process and policy is recognition of the system that we have designed and built around consumers and customers safety, integrity, and food safety first. This is not something we will ever back down from!

Let’s Build Something Clean Together!

Anyway we can support you to launch your retail pastry brand, scale a food service program, or establish a new bakery concept, Dutchland Foods is your clean, safe, consistent fantastic frozen baked goods partner manufactured in facilities as consistent as the product we deliver.

Dutchland Foods is leading the way in premium frozen pastry innovation.

At Dutchland Foods, we’re proud to be one of the first large-scale pastry manufacturers in the U.S. to produce and distribute filled Kouign Amann pastries — a laminated dough delicacy once reserved for high-end artisan bakeries. Known for its caramelized, sugar-crusted exterior and buttery, flaky layers, Kouign Amann (pronounced “queen a-mahn”) has quickly become a favorite in upscale cafés, foodservice bakery cases, and even grocery store frozen pastry aisles.

What Makes Our Kouign Amann Unique?

Unlike traditional Kouign Amann, which can be labor-intensive and inconsistent to produce, our version is frozen, ready-to-bake, and made with authentic European-style butter and expertly laminated dough — offering your customers a premium bakery experience with zero prep. What truly sets our offering apart is our line of filled Kouign Amann, combining this classic Breton pastry with modern flavor innovation.

Sweet or Savory — You Choose

Our filled Kouign Amann lineup is fully customizable for wholesale clients and private label programs. We currently offer best-selling sweet flavors like:

• Raspberry Cream

• Blueberry Cream

• Cinnamon

• Seasonal Fruit Blends

And on the savory side, we can test and develop gourmet options such as:

• Spinach & Feta

• Everything Bagel

• Sausage Egg & Cheese

All flavors are delivered as frozen, pre-filled pastry shells, giving your team flexibility and consistency with every bake.

Ideal for Bakeries, Cafés, Hotels & Retail Programs

If you’re sourcing frozen pastries for cafés, hotels, grocery bakery departments, or foodservice programs, our filled Kouign Amann is a standout product that combines visual appeal, superior taste, and operational ease. It’s especially popular in upscale bakery sets and seasonal rotating displays where consumers seek premium, Instagram-worthy pastries.

Frozen, Ready-to-Bake Pastry Solutions for Every Need

Dutchland Foods specializes in high-volume production of laminated dough products, frozen pastries for foodservice, and private label pastry solutions. Our Kouign Amann lineup can be:

• Packaged in bulk for commercial bakeries

• Custom branded for retail/private label

• Pre-portioned and shelf-ready for grocery freezer sections

Why Kouign Amann? Why Now?

Kouign Amann has seen massive growth in consumer interest over the past five years, thanks to social media buzz and the rise of gourmet bakery culture. However, few large manufacturers have successfully scaled it — especially with fillings. Dutchland Foods stepped into that gap, combining old-world technique with modern production standards to offer a high-margin frozen pastry your customers will come back for again and again.

 Let’s Talk Pastry Innovation

If you’re a buyer, distributor, or private label brand looking to stand out in the frozen pastry space, let’s connect. Our filled Kouign Amann products are the perfect addition to a high-end, differentiated bakery offering — and we’re always open to developing new custom flavors based on your market.

We are pleased to announce that Dutchland Foods has been designated “Small Business of the Week” by U.S. Senator Joni Ernst, as part of her story series highlighting Iowa’s great small businesses.

Dutchland is a family owned and operated business steeped in the community, so this is a wonderful honor and a strong affirmation of the important role that small businesses can play in local economies.

We are thankful for the honor and proud of our team who continue to be passionate, precise, and produce quality pastries.

Thank you to our partners, customers, and team that have helped to build a great Dutchland Foods. Here’s to growth – and more Kouign Amanns!

The kouign amann has long been known for its caramelized exterior, buttery layers, and rich texture—but at Dutchland, we’ve taken this traditional French pastry a step further. Our filled kouign amanns offer the same artisan quality with the added appeal of a smooth, flavorful center.

It’s a small change with a big payoff.

A Layered Pastry with More to Offer

While most kouign amanns on the market are unfilled, our filled versions feature thoughtfully developed flavor profiles that complement the dough rather than overpower it. Whether it’s a cinnamon swirl or a fruit-infused cream, each flavor is balanced to enhance the caramelized shell and flaky interior—not mask it.

More Visual Appeal, More Menu Flexibility

The added filling opens the door for variety without changing your process. Retailers and foodservice programs can rotate seasonal flavors, appeal to a broader customer base, and refresh their pastry case without adding new SKUs or equipment. It’s an easy way to introduce something new without starting from scratch.

Same Dough, Same Process—Smarter Execution

Our filled kouign amanns are made with the same real-butter laminated dough used in our core line. They’re available frozen and ready to bake, making them a practical solution for in-store bakery teams, cafés, and regional distributors who need consistency at scale.

---

Dutchland’s filled kouign amanns offer the same artisan texture and finish—with just enough innovation to stand out in a crowded case. For bakeries looking to differentiate, it’s a fresh take on a fast-moving favorite.

When distributors are sourcing pastries for their foodservice or retail partners, they’re looking for more than just a product — they’re looking for a manufacturer that understands the logistics, supports the relationship, and delivers consistent results. At Dutchland, we’ve built long-term partnerships with distributors across the country by doing exactly that.

Here’s what keeps them coming back.

1. Low-Lift Onboarding That Saves Time

We make it easy to get up and running. Whether you’re integrating a single pastry item or a full product line, our onboarding process is designed to be fast, efficient, and tailored to your needs. From product specs to shipping coordination, we help make the transition seamless so you can start selling quickly.

2. Customization That Works at Scale

Our private label program gives you flexibility where it matters. Distributors can work with us to customize packaging, portion size, product type, and more — without the headaches of building from scratch. This makes it easy to offer your clients something exclusive, branded, and on-trend.

3. Consistency You Can Count On

Our reputation is built on delivering the same high-quality product, every time. With decades of laminated dough experience and carefully refined production systems, we’re known for reliability — not just in what we make, but in how we support the teams we work with.

4. Products That Serve Multiple Channels

Whether you’re supplying schools, cafés, hotel chains, or grocery programs, our lineup of clean-label, frozen pastries is built to flex across categories. From turnovers and croissants to kouign amann and specialty doughs, we help you meet demand without expanding your SKU list too far.

5. A Team That Treats You Like a Partner

At Dutchland, we prioritize relationships. Distributors aren’t just clients — they’re collaborators. That means clear communication, product support when needed, and a shared goal of helping your customers succeed.

---

From ease of setup to long-term dependability, Dutchland helps distributors offer more — with less stress. Want to talk about private label or sample options? We’re happy to start the conversation.

Every pastry program looks a little different. Some focus on clean-label, minimal-ingredient offerings. Others are centered on indulgent, dessert-style bakes. And many fall somewhere in the middle—balancing quality, shelf life, and performance with brand standards or nutritional goals.

At Dutchland, we understand that no two clients are alike. That’s why flexibility is built into everything we do—from formulation to packaging.

Clean Label or Classic—You Choose

We offer a wide range of clean-label pastries, made without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. But we also understand that some programs require added functionality—whether for extended shelf life, higher-volume production, or specific ingredient profiles. That’s why we work with our clients to determine the right fit, offering both clean-label options and more traditional formulations based on what works best for their customers.

Formulation and Size Customization

Need a mini version of a best-seller? A specific weight or portion size? No problem. We regularly adjust product specs for private label customers and foodservice distributors who need a format tailored to their menu, packaging, or operational setup. Our laminated dough expertise allows us to scale these changes without sacrificing quality or performance.

Private Label + Packaging Solutions

In addition to product customization, we also offer private label support—including custom packaging formats, labeling, and co-branding options. Whether you’re a national retailer or a regional distributor, we’ll work with you to present the product in a way that aligns with your brand.

Partnership Over One-Size-Fits-All

Our goal isn’t just to deliver great pastries—it’s to help you build a program that works. We’re here to ask questions, adjust as needed, and find a solution that hits the mark across quality, price, and customer experience.

---

Whether you’re looking for a clean-label croissant, a ready-to-bake kouign amann, or a custom-size turnover with your brand’s name on it, Dutchland is built to help you make it happen.

Dutchland isn’t just a pastry manufacturer. We’re a partner in your success — with the expertise, reliability, and flexibility to help your program grow.

If your brunch menu still relies on muffins and plain croissants, you’re missing an opportunity to offer something just as versatile—but far more memorable. The kouign amann is a French pastry that’s quickly becoming a favorite among upscale cafés and brunch spots, and for good reason.

It Brings an Elevated Feel Without the Fuss

The kouign amann fits right in with the current wave of “approachable luxury” in foodservice. Its rich, buttery dough and caramelized finish feel indulgent without being overcomplicated. Customers might not know how to pronounce it (it’s “queen a-mahn”), but once they try it, they won’t forget it.

Easy to Dress Up, Simple to Prepare

Whether you offer it plain or with a seasonal glaze, the kouign amann is a low-effort, high-impact menu item. Serve it warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, plate it with a fruit compote, or pair it with a signature coffee blend. With minimal prep, you’ve got something that looks curated—and tastes bakery-case worthy.

A Fresh Take on Familiar Staples

Croissants and muffins will always have their place, but the kouign amann offers something more distinctive. It’s familiar in texture, yet unique enough to stand out. For cafes and restaurants looking to offer something a little unexpected (but totally crowd-pleasing), this pastry hits the mark.

---

Whether you’re revamping your pastry case or refreshing your brunch lineup, the kouign amann brings the kind of versatility, elegance, and flavor that makes it worth the space on your menu.
