Murphy’s Bread reimagines sandwich bread to make beloved, classic, and nostalgic baked goods and treats — like PBJ, grilled cheese, French toast, yummm — to bring the warmth, love, and deliciousness of a southern kitchen to downtown Jersey City. Inspired by homemade family recipes, Murphy’s Bread is made from scratch and a 6-hour process with a slow fermentation for improved digestibility, that fluffy soft bread spring, and deeper flavors of Southern homebaking.

Murphy’s Bread bakes Southern homebaking and urban charm into each handmade loaf and baked goodie with a friendly smile and dedication to quality.

Who We Are

Hey y’all!

I’m thrilled to finally put my baking out there and sharing my goodies with friends, family and Jersey City neighbors!

Most people know me as Chandler, a Southern transplant in Jersey City with a decade-long corporate PR career (Oh, and a yogi!). What they don’t know is that I grew up in Southern Virginia baking in the kitchen with my mom and Grammy. I may have just licked the spoons or whisks for a while, but it was always essential quality testing.

On a whim a couple years ago, I made hamburger buns from scratch… my love of baking just reignited. I loved it! After a lot of nudging from my boyfriend and Murphy’s other dad, Rich, I eventually started giving my baked goods to friends who - to my surprise - devoured anything I baked. One thing led to another, and now, I can’t wait to share my own homemade bread recipe with many more!

Murphy’s Bread is named after our adorable puppy, Murphy, who is obviously our number one mascot and advertisement. (Don’t worry he’s adequately compensated in belly rubs and treats.) He is a one-year-old Cavapoo who is always smiling and exploding with love and kisses to share. He’s the bestest boy in the universe and can’t wait to say hello to you at the Farmers Markets around Jersey City in the near future (and maybe on special deliveries). 😊

I also want to thank and share my gratitude to everyone who has encouraged me along the way, all of my taste testers, and everyone who has (and will) help make Murphy’s Bread a success. And especially to Rich, my biggest cheerleader and incredibly supportive and encouraging boyfriend.
