This ontbijtkoek sounds amazing! I love how versatile it is, from a breakfast treat with butter and coffee to an ice cream sundae base. I can relate to having trouble finding certain treats in the US. It’s great that you can make it at home now. Do you think other spices could be added to change up the flavor? And how does the 12 – 24 hour rest really transform the crust? Can’t wait to try this!

In reply to Guillermo. I find that the weather affects the crust a bit. When it's humid it does better. If you have a drier climate, after the bread is completely cooled, place it wrapped in a large plastic bag. That should help.

Hi Nicky, just prepared it and couldnt wait to open it!!!
It was delicious! just as good as i remember as on my childhood my parent’s friend bring this bread to our home and i just love it 🙂

Just one comment i wrap it before the cool down -less than 30 minutes- wait 24 hrs to open it, but the crust has not as much moisture as you share on the photo.

Any tips or advice to achieve that crust?

Thanks! 🙂

Butter and hagelslag… is there any other way to eat bread. It’s been years since I’ve been to the Netherlands, burr I used to find ontbijtkoek with the other snack cakes. I hope you enjoy this.

Thanks so much Debbie. I love to cook and try different things. I’m glad to hear it shows in my website. Spelt flour would be great with this bread. My mother is from the Netherlands, just outside Amsterdam actually. If you get the chance to try it, I’d love to hear how you like it.

In reply to DesignedByBH. Thanks Brooke. It's an old family recipe that came from my mom.
