Taste The Love

--------

It all started with a breadstick

Jennifer made breadsticks for dinner parties and friends fell in love. After years of people telling her to sell her breadsticks, a marketing background and a divorce, Jennifer had an epiphany, create a business doing what she loved.

That was the beginning

In 2005, Jennifer was a single mother often cooking with her young daughter. She started Jennifer’s Homemade out of her passion for baking and the inspiration to create delicious products with integrity and quality.

Our Unique Process

Italian Biga

Our dough is made from scratch using an Italian biga and only a few natural ingredients. A biga is a pre-fermentation which gives our products delicious flavor, added texture, and makes them less perishable and easier to digest.

We made our original biga from scratch in 2019.

Added Flavor and Texture

Using a biga adds complexity to the flavor and texture of our breadsticks and flatbread

Less Perishable

A biga also helps to naturally preserve our products by making them less perishable

Easy to Digest

One of the biggest benefits of a Biga is that our Breadsticks and Flatbread are easier to digest. Many of our customers with gluten sensitivities tell us they can easily (and happily) eat our products

(everything is made with unbleached/unbromated wheat flour)

We use extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt and fresh rosemary in our recipes

Vegan, all-natural, made with extra virgin olive oil
