Our Story

 Jennifer's Homemade creates products people love out of passion and inspiration with integrity and quality, so they can enjoy them as much as we enjoy creating them. 

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.

Meet Jennifer

Jennifer Behar started her career in advertising and marketing.  After college at Boston University, she moved to New York City and worked as an advertising account executive on the Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo account and helped to launch Acuvue disposable contact lenses in 26 countries.  

In 2005, Jennifer was a single mother often cooking with her young daughter and she started Jennifer's Homemade out of her home kitchen. 

Jennifer’s Homemade was born out of her passion for baking and the inspiration to create delicious products with integrity and quality.  Her breadsticks and flatbread are made from scratch with only the finest natural ingredients.  She uses extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt and fresh rosemary in her recipes.  Everything is always vegan, non-GMO and all natural.

In 2007, Jennifer joined the board of directors for Feeding South Florida, a member of Feeding America, and she served on the board for 6 years and was Vice President of the board for 2 of those years.

Jennifer’s Homemade has been featured in Food & Wine and Gourmet Magazines, The New York Times, The Miami Herald, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer on CNN, National Public Radio, an American Express OPEN small business print advertising campaign and Jennifer baked with Martha Stewart on MARTHA, The Martha Stewart Show.

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
MISSION TO END HUNGER
 

In 2005, when Jennifer had the idea for Jennifer’s Homemade, she went to Feeding South Florida (formerly Daily Bread Food Bank) before she ever made a sale. She wanted to donate a portion of proceeds to help end hunger. In 2007 Jennifer joined the board of directors of Feeding South Florida and for two of those years she served as the Vice President of the board. 

It is our honor to play a small part in support of World Central Kitchen’s mission in ensuring that everyone is met with a warm, nourishing meal. It is so powerful to see how World Central Kitchen brings people together to show the power that a plate of food can hold in even the darkest times. 

“The cause of food insecurity is a natural fit with our purpose to spread our love of food through our Breadsticks and Flatbread.”
