Easy Unleavened Bread (Communion Bread Recipe) + Video
This traditional unleavened bread recipe is made in just 20 minutes with 4 simple ingredients, no yeast needed! The flatbread bakes up crisp, flavorful and perfect for communion or to enjoy as snack crackers.
Preheat the oven to 475°F. Then set out a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Set out a large mixing bowl. Combine the flour, warm milk, olive oil, and salt. Mix by hand until the dough comes together into a firm ball. Then knead the dough for several minutes until it is completely smooth.
Separate the dough into as many pieces as desired. (This recipe will make 4 tortilla-sized pieces, 2 larger pieces, or 1 extra large pizza-sized piece.) Roll out the dough pieces into extremely thin rounds. You still need to be able to move the dough onto the parchment paper, but the thinner the better.
If making communion bread pieces, use a pizza cutter to cut the circles into small half inch squares. (see images)
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the bread is golden brown and slightly bubbly on top. It's making snack crackers, bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crisp.

Notes
This recipe will make 4 tortilla-sized pieces, 2 larger pieces, or 1 extra large pizza-sized piece.) Roll out the dough pieces into extremely thin rounds. You still need to be able to move the dough onto the parchment paper, but the thinner the better.Feel free to season your unleavened bread any way you like! Consider adding a little cayenne pepper, garlic powder, or dried herbs over the top.Let the bread cool before transferring to an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for 4 days.To freeze: Once the bread has cooled transfer it to an airtight plastic zipper bag. If stacking, I suggest sticking pieces of parchment between the pieces. Squeeze all of the air out and seal the bag before storing it in the freezer for up to 4 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for an hour or so.
