Unleavened bread, also known as flatbread, is a type of bread that is made without yeast or other leavening agents. This results in a dense, chewy bread that is often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Unleavened bread has been a staple food for centuries and is still enjoyed by people all over the world. There are many different recipes for unleavened bread, each with its own unique flavor and texture. Some popular unleavened bread recipes include matzo, pita bread, and tortilla. Flatbreads are a great way to enjoy a variety of toppings, from savory to sweet. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish and can be customized to fit any occasion.

UNLEAVENED BREAD FOR PASSOVER
This is the recipe we use for observing Passover at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church. You can use syrup or sugar instead of the honey, but I like the honey. I'd also make this for the kids and I to eat as a snack.

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).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F. In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Using a stand electric mixer with a dough hook, beat the butter, egg yolks, and vegetable oil until combined (not smooth). Slowly alternate adding flour mixture and milk to mixer bowl while mixer is on a medium/low speed. Dough should be crumbly but moist. Lightly knead dough by hand to form smooth ball. Lightly flour a bread board and pinch off a quarter of the dough. Pat the dough into a flat disk, then using a rolling pin, thin the disk to approximately 1/8" keeping the board floured and flipping disk as necessary to avoid sticking. Carefully transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. (Optional: Lightly pierce surface of bread with a fork to help avoid bubbling, and mark squares onto surface with a knife to aid in seperating servings). Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until lightly browned on edges.
UNLEAVENED BREAD
Darlene Kossman made this for passover meal April 15th, 1987. It took 5 people to make 2 batches = 100; one big one on cookie sheet for pastor. Figure to cut in 3 parts Helen, 2 Wilma, 2 Phyllis, 2 Darlene, 1 pastor. 60 circles without Phyllis (these are notes on recipe). It has egg in it; that seems like leavening to me but this is the recipe she had.

(NO-KNEAD) UNLEAVENED BREAD, (WRAP-ABLE VERSION)
Wrappable Unleavened Bread (also, "Roti" or "Soft Tortilla") is suitable for Communion, The Last Supper (Passover), and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This no-knead flatbread recipe is pliable and it stays that way! Rest dough in the bowl, covered for 5 minutes (or keep up to 24 hours) & it naturally transforms into soft kneaded...

Steps:
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients with a whisk.
- 2. Take your warm-to-hot water off the stove. While scraping the sides of the bowl, pour 1/3 cup warm water into the flour at a time and mix until a faintly sticky dough ball is formed. Use all the water. Note: If the dough is a bit dry, pound a little until the moist is evenly incorporated throughout. If the dough is too wet, make efforts to incorporate all of the flour that's in the bowl, pounding it into the dough.
- 3. Cover the dough with a clean cloth for 5 minutes (or keep up to 24 hours!) to let it rest.
- 4. Take the cloth off your bowl & remove the dough. Place dough onto a clean countertop. Note: The dough will be sticking to the bottom of the bowl as you lift it out, and the top of the dough might be dry. Briefly rework the dough again so the moist is evenly incorporated throughout.
- 5. Divide the dough using a knife. Make sure each dough ball is equal to 4 TBSP (or a medium ball size). I gathered 12 dough balls. Note: Cover the pieces of dough with a wet paper towel so it doesn't dry out.
- 6. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball until it's little less than 1/4 inch thick. Size may vary but dough's rough dimensions spread out by 7x8 inches. Note: Roll it out under 1/4 inch thick but not under 2mm, this recipe's ingredient ratio isn't suited to make unleavened bread crackers. You should be able to easily lift this dough without ripping it.
- 7. On stovetop, pre-heat a large non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat (Stovetop Settings: 5 or 4). Note: Do not cook over the lowest setting.
- 8. Once the non-stick pan is pre-heated and quite hot, place a flatbread or multiple flatbreads onto the surface using a spatula, ensuring they do not overlap. Let it cook for 1-minute, 45 seconds OR until brown marks begin to appear. Flip to the other side & cook for another 45 seconds. Use the spatula to hold down the flatbread when it rises so the flatbread cooks evenly but doesn't burn. Note: It's not necessary nor recommended to use oil or butter.
- 9. Flatbreads are ready when both sides appear to have light to medium brown spots & the bread is no longer see-through. Remove from stove-top and wrap the flatbread in a reusable cloth or paper towel before storing inside a ziplock or container.
- 10. STORING: When properly clothed inside a container, your Unleavened Bread will stay fresh & pliable up to 12 days. Freeze your Unleavened Bread inside of a ziplock bag with a cloth for up to 1 month. Note: Additionally, just like regular bread, uncovered Unleavened Bread may be left outside for up to 5 hours before it begins to stale.
ROTI 2000 (UNLEAVENED BAKED VEGETABLE BREAD)

Steps:
- Puree the vegetables and yogurt in a blender until smooth.
- Mix with all the flours and salt and knead the dough, adding water as needed, until it becomes smooth and supple.
- Cover with a kitchen towel and rest the dough for at least an hour in a warm place.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight before using.
- Put a cookie sheet on top or middle shelf in the oven, preheat at broil.
- (Can also preheat the oven to 500°F.) Divide the dough in about 12 pieces and make smooth balls, working between your palms, using flour as needed, and flatten into about 2" round patties.
- Make all the patties and cover with a towel.
- Dust a flat surface with little flour.
- Roll each patty into a round 5 to 6" across, about 1/8" thick.
- Note: Roll 5 to 6'Roti' and start baking.
- With practice, you'll be able to roll the next batch of'Roti' while the previous one is baking.
- Slide 4 to 6'Roti' on the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven.
- Make sure that the oven stays hot; open the oven door a little if the oven turns off.
- When light brown specks appear on the top (after 1 to 2 minutes), turn each Roti to bake the other side.
- It should become fluffy and crisp with light brown patches on both sides.
- (Do not over-brown because that makes the Roti hard.) Bake all Roti this way.
- Spread little butter on one side of each'Roti', if desired.
- Stack them and wrap in aluminum foil to keep them warm and soft.
- Serve warm.

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!
Tips:
- Use the right flour: Matzah meal or fine cornmeal are the best flours for unleavened bread. They produce a light and airy texture.
- Add some moisture: Water, milk, or eggs can be added to the dough to make it more moist and pliable. This will also help the bread to rise slightly.
- Season the dough: Salt, herbs, and spices can be added to the dough for flavor. This is a great way to customize your unleavened bread.
- Cook the bread over medium heat: Unleavened bread should be cooked over medium heat to prevent it from burning. This will also help the bread to cook evenly throughout.
- Serve the bread warm or at room temperature: Unleavened bread is best served warm or at room temperature. This will allow the flavors of the bread to shine through.
Conclusion:
Unleavened bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great option for those who are looking for a gluten-free or low-carb bread. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make unleavened bread at home. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give unleavened bread a try!
