Easy Communion Bread Recipe

This is a beginner-friendly recipe with minimal ingredients for anyone who wants to make their own communion bread at home. It is intended to replicate the taste of bread from Biblical times.

Servings: 8 People
Course: Communion

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour for a heartier texture
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 428°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the olive oil and honey (if using), then slowly mix in the water until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
  3. Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. You can cut the dough into small squares or rounds or break it into rustic pieces. I chose to cut the dough into rounds using the rim of a small cup. With a fork, lightly prick the dough to prevent air bubbles.
  4. Place the prepared dough on the lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn slightly golden. The bread should be firm but not too crispy.
  5. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

If you choose to use honey, mix it with warm water first to avoid sticky situations.
