UNLEAVENED BREAD FOR COMMUNION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix flour, oil, and salt together in a bowl; add water and mix using a pastry cutter until dough is soft. Form dough into 6 balls and press into disks onto the prepared baking sheet using your hands.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bread is cooked, 8 to 10 minutes.

UNLEAVENED COMMUNION BREAD

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).
