How to Make Gluten-Free Communion Bread

This recipe call for regular flour but you can also use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour, to make these gluten-free communion wafers for those with gluten sensitivity. This is perfect for someone that would need a low-gluten wafer or gluten-free wafers to join in communion service with everyone else.

I have not tried it myself, but I bet you could even replace the white flour with whole wheat flour as long as you do not celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.

Additional Items needed to make your own recipe:

• 1 1/2” round cookie or biscuit cutter
• rolling pin
• fork

Unleavened Communion Bread Recipe

Step 1: In a large bowl or stand mixer with a dough hook, mix flour with the other ingredients.

Make sure to scrape down the sides of the large mixing bowl, as you are mixing.

Step 2: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 3 minutes.

Step 3: Roll out the soft dough to 1/8” thick. Cut out circles with your cookie cutter.

Saving Dollars and Sense Tip: If you do not have a cookie cutter that will work, you could just use a pizza cutter or sharp knife and cut your wafers into small individual squares.

Step 4: Transfer wafers to baking sheet that has been covered with a sheet of parchment paper.

Prick wafers with fork 2-3 times.

Step 5: Bake at 400° for 5-8 minutes.

Enjoy communion of the lord’s supper with these and with a little bit of grape juice.
