When it comes to preparing bread for communion, there are various unleavened bread recipes that can be followed to create a meaningful and sacred experience. These recipes adhere to the traditional guidelines of using simple and pure ingredients, symbolizing the body of Christ in Christian tradition.
One common recipe involves using a mixture of whole wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt, which is then kneaded and rolled out into thin sheets. Another recipe utilizes a combination of all-purpose flour, water, and olive oil, resulting in a slightly softer and pliable dough. For those seeking a gluten-free option, a recipe using almond flour, tapioca flour, eggs, and water can be used to create a delicious and allergy-friendly version of unleavened bread. Additionally, there's a recipe that incorporates yeast, sugar, and warm water to create a slightly risen bread, offering a unique texture and flavor.
These recipes are versatile and can be adapted to suit specific dietary needs and preferences, ensuring that everyone can partake in the communion experience. Whether you prefer a traditional, gluten-free, or slightly risen unleavened bread, these recipes provide a range of options to create a meaningful and sacred symbol of faith.
COMMUNION BREAD (UNLEAVENED) RECIPE - (3.5/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Mix all ingredients together - IT WILL BE STICKY!! (REALLY spray down your hands/spatula with PAM.) If, however, it is TOO sticky, add very small amounts of flour (recommended amounts would be: 1 additional Tablespoon of whole wheat flour, then UP TO 2 additional Tablespoons of white flour) - please wait until you have thoroughly mixed all ingredients before adding more flour! **I have never had to add the extra flour.** Divide into three parts and pat down onto parchment paper, making three "circles" about 1/4-inch-high (no higher than 1/2-inch-high). All three circles should fit onto one baking sheet - you can have them really close together. You can start out with a spatula, but I always end up using my hands to spread them on the baking sheet. **If you are working alone, have a couple teaspoons of oil in a dish to reapply oil to your hands easily when needed! This part is not always easy - be prepared for the parchment paper to move quite a bit.** They usually take about 20 minutes in the oven, but just to be safe, start off with the timer set at 17 minutes. When they are slightly brown on the edges, they are done - DO NOT OVER-BAKE (or it's crunchy). It is hard to tell, since the bread is made with whole wheat flour, but you can also touch the center of the circles and see if it is done. **Mine usually take only the 17 minutes, but I spread mine pretty thin.** If you are using for communion, take a pizza cutter and cut into strips and then across to made bite-sized squares, leaving out any hard edges. One round, depending on the size/thickness, usually gets cut into about 120 good pieces. The bread only lasts a few days, but freezes beautifully!! It is also good to munch on!
BREAD FOR COMMUNION - UNLEAVENED
Our church is small. So I only make approximately 25 to 50. If you belong to a larger church, you can double or triple the recipe. Some people like to have the bread round instead square, you can do both. I have made these for 3 churches. They're much better than the ones you buy. If you ever taste one these breads, you will...

UNLEAVENED COMMUNION BREAD
When I offered to be the person to make the Communion bread, I found myself somewhat nervous and intimidated. I tried 4 recipes, 2 leavened and 2 unleavened. I brought samples to some of the church members, and the minister. The members told me which ones they liked. The minister just smiled and said they were all fine, and whatever I did would be good. After several tries, I settled on this recipe. The minister was right... it does not matter. The bread is transformed into the Holy Sacrament at the altar. I use enough whole wheat flour to give it a nice color, and to help give the bread more body. I like to mark the bread with a cross, as a symbol and make it so that it is easily broken. We have 2 services, so I make 3 loaves. I pray as I make the loaves, and feel very humble that I am allowed to do this for our church.

Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients into a bowl.
- Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives.
- Add enough milk to pull dough together.
- Turn dough onto very lightly floured surface and kneed gently for 5 minutes or so.
- Weigh dough, and divide into three portions.
- Use 3 small pieces of parchment paper, drawing circles (5 1/2", using a small lid) in pencil, and placing the penciled side down so that the pencil marks do not show on the finished breads.
- Place each portion onto the parchment paper.
- Flatten and shape each loaf into size wanted, (using the markings as a guide) and score. (I flatten to about 1/4" and score with biscuit cutter, pizza wheel, and a fork).
- The photos show how I score the loaves. I score them so there will be 40 pieces per loaf.
- Bake at 400° to 15-20 minutes until slightly brown at the edges. (I place the parchment and bread on a pizza stone to bake and bake them one at a time since my stone only accommodates one).

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your bread turns out delicious and flavorful.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
- Knead the dough properly: This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and give your bread a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the yeast to activate and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the dough to rise.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Unleavened bread is a simple but delicious bread that is perfect for communion or any other special occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Follow these tips to make the perfect unleavened bread.
