About us
Our story
Two sisters, one kitchen, and a chilly winter morning in New Hampshire — it was here that 12shares was born. Inspired to share the joy we found huddled around a flour -filled counter baking with family and friends, we sought to develop a recipe for healthy bagels in the comfort of home.
We are excited to share our weekend (or any time) ritual with you!
The history of “Twelve Shares”
Our namesake, “Twelve Shares” is the woodland area where 12shares was founded. The original settlers of Hampton, New Hampshire received this land in 12 parcels, or shares, in a grant from the King of England. By sourcing local, nutrient-packed, organic ingredients, we support the well-being of our community and land — today and for generations to come.
Twelve Shares is our inspiration for sharing tradition and pioneering new, better ways to bake.
Our team
Two sisters and chemical engineers (with R&D and quality backgrounds) determined to invent healthy and still tasty recipes (with the help of family). Both are New England outdoor enthusiasts inspired to give back to nature and the local community.

We acknowledge and respect the history of bagels, originating from underrepresented Jewish communities in Poland. We aim to continue to appreciate the traditional bagel while we innovate with new recipes and techniques.
