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.

There’s something nostalgic — almost romantic — about a classic palmier. Those crisp, caramelized layers folded into a delicate swirl of puff pastry? Timeless.

But sometimes, tradition could use a little extra sparkle.

At Dutchland Foods, we specialize in frozen, pre-proofed pastries built for real-world efficiency. We’re here to help bakeries, grocery retailers, cafés, and hotels deliver fresh-from-the-oven quality — without the time-consuming prep.

Real Butter, Real Layers

Flaky, golden, and precision-laminated — our dough delivers a European-style experience that elevates any in-store bakery program or foodservice display.

Flavor Inclusions That Sell Themselves

Classic Pastry, Modern Flavor Raspberry Chip & Cinnamon Chip Palmiers — Flaky. Flavorful. Ready to Bake.

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.

Whether you’re running a neighborhood bakery or managing a national grocery chain, one thing remains true: consistency, quality, and flexibility matter. At Dutchland Foods, we’ve built our model to support a wide range of partners—from boutique pastry programs to large-scale foodservice operations—all while maintaining the craftsmanship and care we’re known for.

Here’s how we make it work at every level.

We Serve a Wide Range of Customers

Our pastries show up in more places than you might expect. We work with:

  • Independent bakeries and cafés
  • Regional grocery stores and co-ops
  • National grocery chains with in-store bakery programs
  • Foodservice providers across hospitality, education, and corporate sectors

Each partnership looks a little different, and that’s the point. We adapt our offering to fit your needs—not the other way around.

Scaling Without Sacrificing Quality

One of the biggest challenges in pastry manufacturing is scaling production while preserving product integrity. At Dutchland Foods, we’ve refined our processes to allow us to serve high-volume customers while still operating with small-batch care. From laminated dough to final bake, quality control is baked into every step.

Clean-Label First

Dutchland’ pastry’s pastries is made with real, recognizable ingredients—no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Whether you’re selling to health-conscious consumers or looking to clean up your ingredient deck, our pastries give you a head start without compromising on taste, texture, or performance.


Dutchland’s flexibility makes it easy to grow with us. Whether you need a single item for a seasonal promotion or a full lineup for a multi-store rollout, we’re here to help you deliver products that perform—on the shelf, in the case, and at the table.

If you’ve ever tried to make a kouign amann from scratch, you know it’s no small feat. Between laminating dough with precision and timing the bake just right for that signature caramelized crust, it’s a labor of love—and a time commitment most busy bakeries just don’t have room for.

That’s exactly why more retailers, cafés, and in-store bakery programs are turning to frozen kouign amann as a smarter, more scalable solution.

Less Labor, Less Waste, Same Impressive Results

Our frozen kouign amann comes fully pre-formed and available in preproofed or ready-to-bake formats, which means there’s no rolling, cutting, shaping, or guesswork. Just bake, display, and serve. It’s a simple way to reduce back-of-house prep and eliminate the inconsistency that often comes with high-labor products.

Gourmet Pastry, Without the Time Crunch

Even with the time savings, nothing is sacrificed in quality. These pastries rise beautifully, caramelize with that glossy finish, and deliver all the indulgence of a handmade kouign amann—without the hands-on process. It’s artisan-level pastry made accessible for real-world operations.

Consistency at Scale for Chains and Regional Retailers

For larger bakery programs, frozen kouign amann offers something just as important as flavor: repeatable results. Whether you’re running a single café or supplying dozens of locations, you can expect each bake to look and taste the same. That kind of consistency is tough to match with scratch baking—especially at scale.


With frozen kouign amann, bakeries don’t have to choose between quality and efficiency. You get both—and your customers get the kind of pastry that keeps them coming back.

The kouign amann may not be the easiest pastry to pronounce, but it’s quickly becoming one of the easiest to sell. With its caramelized crust, buttery interior, and upscale feel, this French pastry has found its way into in-store bakeries, cafés, and grocery programs—and it’s holding its own next to longtime favorites like croissants and danishes.

If you’re already carrying kouign amann (or considering adding it to your lineup), here are three ways to help it stand out in your pastry case and drive even stronger sales.

1. Pair It with Coffee—Literally

Few things sell a pastry faster than a great cup of coffee sitting beside it. Position your kouign amann display near your coffee station or add signage that promotes it as the perfect morning or mid-afternoon pairing. If your store offers coffee to-go, consider bundling a kouign amann as a limited-time pastry add-on. “Butter cake and a brew” has a nice ring to it.

2. Lean Into Seasonal Toppings

The classic kouign amann is beautiful on its own, but a seasonal twist can take it even further. Try dusting with cinnamon sugar in the fall, adding a light maple glaze in the winter, or finishing with a fruit compote or citrus drizzle in spring and summer. A little seasonal creativity goes a long way—and it gives customers a reason to come back for what’s new.

3. Showcase the Crust (It Sells Itself)

Don’t hide these in a pile. Kouign amanns are known for their golden, caramelized exterior—that’s the magic, and it should be visible. Use shallow trays or tiered bakery risers that elevate them slightly and give customers a full view of that glossy crust. Clear signage that briefly describes what it is (“flaky, buttery, caramelized pastry from France”) helps reduce buyer hesitation and adds to the elevated feel.

If you’re looking to wow your guests with something that’s as impressive as it is easy to prepare, the Croissant Breakfast Pizza is your new go-to. Built on the buttery, flaky foundation of a Dutchland Classic 10×15 Croissant Sheet, this recipe transforms the ordinary breakfast into an extraordinary culinary experience.

Why You’ll Love It

Versatile and Easy: Perfect for everything from a weekend brunch with friends to an eye-catching addition to a breakfast buffet.

Make-Ahead Friendly: Prep the croissant crust in advance, so all you need to do is top and bake when it’s go-time.

Endlessly Customizable: While we’ve loaded this one with chorizo, eggs, bacon, and a creamy queso base, feel free to swap in your favorite breakfast toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1 Dutchland Classic 10×15 Croissant Sheet
  • 2 ounces queso sauce
  • 4 ounces cooked chorizo, crumbled
  • 4 ounces scrambled egg
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped

  • Diced fresh chives
  • Sour cream for drizzling
  • 1 ounce melted butter

4. Melt the Cheese: Increase oven temperature to 375°F and bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
