Hello Martin,
First of all we can offer you this pinterest page for Amsterdam bakeries a little bit more up to date also.

As for Rotterdam we do not have the ultimate insiders knowledge but we do have a few suggestions for worthwhile visits.
First this Markthal with lots of foodstalls : markthal-en.klepierre.nl/
Also found this link which points to 5 urban bakers in the town center:

Helena Restrepo says
Hi there! I am writing you because I am very interested to learn about bakering, I mean, I am looking for a course to do, that lengths 2 or 3 weeks! If somebody can suggest meething, I’ll be thankful!
Weekend Bakers says
Hello Helena,
I am sorry we personally cannot help you with any baking course around here that spans several weeks. Usually courses are one day workshops and those are also already hard to find and often full way in advance. Hope somebody else has a suggestion for you.
Greetings and Happy Baking,
Marieke

It took me months to find this bakery. Well worth the wait. Absolutely the best tasting bread ever. They dont advertise or do promos All i can say is go check this little gem out Really!!
For dutch people: klarykoopmans.blogspot.com/2008/…erden.html
Weekend Bakers says
Thank you for sharing this. The bakery is on our list of places we Must visit. And of course we have to taste their speculaas. I love baking speculaas myself and the praise these get makes me very curious. Maybe have to wait a while because it is not the season. But of course we must taste their bread too!
Thanks again Jerry,
Marieke
