Communion Bread Bakers

Students take turns baking the bread to be used for Mass. The recipe consists only of whole wheat flour and water, baked in round loaves at 375 degrees for 9 minutes. Students can use ovens in their residence halls. All other materials (bowls, rolling pin, etc.) can be provided upon request. Watch a video demo here!
