You can submit the recipe by just typing it as your answer or you can just give me the link of the recipe on a certain website. Please the communion bread I need must be like this one. I've already tried the other recipes as seen on most websites and it was not the communion bread I was looking for, yes, it was a bread but not that thin and the one used in other religions (i.e. Lutherans, Methodists). Hope you can help me, thank you.

I just have to ask why would you want to make these? Anyway you can buy them they are very cheap! This website http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/B... has a box with 1,000 for 14.99. They are the communion bread wafers. I will continue to search for a recipe though.

Here is a recipe I found, hope its helpful
