Here is a great recipe to use for baking communion bread.
2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 Cup White Flour
1 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Oil
3/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoon Water (VERY hot)
3 Tablespoon Honey
3 Tablespoon Molasses
Directions
Sift dry ingredients and cut in oil. Set aside for a moment. In a bowl combine water, honey and molasses. Add dry ingredients and oil. Mix well by hand. Dough will be a bit sticky. Divide into 4 equal parts. Roll each into a 1/4 ” thick and 8 ” diameter circle and mark with a cross. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with oil. Bake and additional 5-8 minutes.
Cool. Put into zipper storage bags.
Here are some tried and true (read: delicious) tips for baking the communion bread:
1) I follow the recipe amounts and ingredients.

6) Bake the minimum time
7) Make sure your baking powder and whole wheat flour aren’t stale/expired.
