Thumb Bread® is an artisanal, hand‑formed flatbread brand created by three sisters who grew up in poverty and food insecurity in a New Jersey immigrant household. The sisters transformed their original restaurant bread from Flatbread Grill® into a premium packaged flatbread that brings Mediterranean‑inspired flavor and texture to homes and retailers throughout New Jersey, New York, and nearby markets.

What They Do

Thumb Bread® produces signature Thumb Bread flatbreads and related baked products that stand out in the local bread aisle and on restaurant menus.

• Hand‑formed, versatile flatbread ideal for wraps, pizzas, sandwiches, and everyday meals.
• A recipe refined in their North Jersey fast‑casual restaurant and now scaled for grocery, wholesale, and food‑service partners.
• A woman‑owned, immigrant‑founded brand that customers can support when they search for “artisanal bread New Jersey,” “Turkish flatbread,” or “small‑batch flatbread near me.”

The sisters remain deeply involved in recipe development, branding, and distribution so the product story and quality stay closely tied to their lived experience.

Community & Impact / Philanthropy: Hold The Bread Foundation™

Through the Hold The Bread Foundation™, Thumb Bread® channels its growth into direct community impact around hunger and opportunity.

• Supports local food pantries and community organizations working to end food insecurity with both bread and monetary donations.
• Hosts baking workshops and food‑centered programs for children and adolescents growing up in poverty, especially in New Jersey and the surrounding region.
• Organizes drives, fundraising efforts, and partnerships that create grants and empowering opportunities for marginalized communities.

When customers and partners choose Thumb Bread®, they support both a local New Jersey bread brand and a mission‑driven foundation focused on food security and equity.
