Communion bread or communion wafers are used in religious services all over the world. Traditionally, the communion wafer is unleavened and uses only a few ingredients. Today, some churches, homes and religious institutions are making their own communion bread to use for special services, or year-round. Communion bread can be adjusted to suit dietary needs as well as religious obligations.

Cut your separate wafers from the rolled out dough into your desired shape (round, rectangular, hexagonal) with a very sharp knife, bottle cap or cracker/cookie cutter.
