Communion Prep: Unleavened Bread

Communion Prep: Unleavened Bread We hope you’ll make time to watch our online Good Friday Service, featuring a devotional by Pastor Jay and in-home Communion together. (Resources for families with young children will be included, too.) Since you’ll need unleavened bread for Communion, we’ve listed some options below. Unleavened bread can be bought or easily made at home: Buy Matzos bread (crisp bread flats that you break apart) or soft tortillas made without yeast. If you need a gluten-free option from the store, consider Good Thins simply salt rice snack crackers. Cook soft, unleavened bread cakes at home. The following recipe has been kitchen-tested and approved! We encourage you to make this a family project Friday if you have children at home. Even if you don’t typically bake bread, this on-the-stovetop recipe is quick (about 15 minutes) and easy to follow.
