a great recipe for communion bread

I borrowed/inherited this recipe for communion bread from one of the pastors who served my home congregation, St. Michael Lutheran in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It is a simple recipe for unleavened honey wheat bread. It was a favorite of my seminary community, and I've also made it with kids during communion workshops, to be shared with the whole congregation during communion on the next Sunday.

Enjoy!

Honey-Wheat Communion Bread

3 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. enriched flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c. honey
1/2 c. oil (flaxseed or canola)
1 c. water

Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Hand mix, knead thoroughly. Form any number of equal loaves. Grease a cookie pan (I use parchment paper instead) and place dough on it, rolling flat (about 1/4 in. thick). Score a cross or fish lightly on the top. Bake at 350* for 15 minutes. To store, wrap in tinfoil, place in Ziploc, refrigerate. Bread can be frozen up to two weeks, one day to defrost.
