A homemade bread recipe for Communion Bread.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tablespoons yeast
Instructions

Dissolve honey and water. The warmer they are, the easier they'll mix. Add the yeast, whisk it all together, and set aside.

Blend the flours and salt, and melt the butter in a separate dish.

Once melted, add the butter to the yeast/honey/water mixture. Whisk together.

Add liquid to dry ingredients and knead down on a floured board. You could also mix the ingredients with a Kitchen−Aid mixer (dough hook attachment), then transfer to a floured board. When finished, the dough should be very soft, but not too sticky. Let rise until doubled.

Punch down, knead on a floured board, and divide into two loaves. Shape into cylinders, or round balls, or whatever shape you prefer.
