This traditional unleavened bread recipe is perfect for communion services and can be easily made at home with simple ingredients. The bread is soft and tender, making it ideal for breaking and sharing during a religious ceremony.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup olive oil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  3. Add the olive oil and water to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into rounds on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Using a fork, prick the tops of the bread rounds to prevent them from puffing up during baking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bread is lightly golden brown.
