Home/Team building bread making

Team building bread making

Making bread together is a wonderful way to get to know each other better. Our circular bakery in Amsterdam is a special place where you and your team can experience the age-old tradition of bread making and learn more about a healthier food system.

During this social and inclusive activity, participants can choose between enjoying some snacks (Program I) or engaging in a more extensive cooking and dining experience (Program II). Our programs are informal and educational, designed for groups who appreciate hands-on activities. The more extensive team-building activity starts with a workshop on sourdough bread making. Afterwards, participants can bake their own – pita – bread in a stone oven and enjoy it with dishes from our café or prepare a dish themselves. We also emphasize our circular work processes during these activities. Please note that for groups seeking an elaborate dining experience, our program may be less suitable.
