About Dough Birds

The Flock Founder

Dough Birds took flight thanks to Mike Pelikan. When Mike was getting his masters in Belgium in 2020, he fell in love with the country’s masterful Liège waffles. Inspired and ready to share it with his friends and family, he brought his newfound muse, the Liège waffle, home. Now, he has perfected his recipe to be able to bring it to the masses.

He is a father of 3, extremely hard working, and all-around great guy. 

What About Dough Birds Liège Waffles?

Our waffles are authentic Belgian Liège waffles, made with a rich brioche-style dough and real pearl sugar. As they bake, the sugar caramelizes to create a crisp exterior and a soft, buttery center.

A traditional Belgian breakfast waffle is made from a batter and is usually served with syrup. A Liège waffle is made from a rich yeast dough containing pearl sugar. As it bakes, the sugar caramelizes into a crisp, golden crust while the inside stays soft, buttery, and chewy. They’re designed to be enjoyed on their own, no syrup required.
