May the Almighty bless everyone who reads these comments.

I tried making this a couple of weeks ago during the 2020 quarantine. The bread was usable for communion, though bland. I also wound up with a very large air pocket in my dough - and I mean a pocket from one end to the other, such that what came out looked like a normal loaf...

In regards to the use of salt in the recipe, I think the arguments can be made to include it. Zarephath (also known as Sarepta) was a coastal city on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, so sea water would've been available and there are several recipes out there for "ocean bread" (never mind if it was 'safe' to use or not; filtering out contaminants was a few centuries off). God had also brought drought upon the land at the time of the story in 1 Kings, so what safe freshwater was available was probably being used for drinking.

The salinity of the eastern Mediterranean Sea is around 40 parts per thousand, or roughly 4%. One half cup (the water measurement for the recipe) comes to about 120 mL; 4% of that is 4.8 mL, which is a scant teaspoon of salt. I have not actually tried this adjustment yet but will be doing so when I make the next attempt at cooking. I'll also be using a docker on the dough before it goes into the oven to try to keep the air bubble from happening again.

Remember table salt is stronger than sea salt...

How do you store this bread?

Thank you for this recipe. I am also a member of the Church of Christ in Trinidad, West Indies. Since we have to stay inside due to Covid-19, I needed an unleavened bread recipe for home worship tomorrow... Stay blessed :)

Tastes great, especially when dipped in honey! :)

Thanks - Currently in US Virgin Islands wanting to celebrate the Lord' Supper.

Leviticus 2 says that the salt of the covenant was not to be left out, so it would seem that the bread used to institute the Lord's Supper also included salt. I encourage sisters in the church to make the bread for the congregation because what is purchased has no oil or salt, and some boxes of matzos specifically say "not for Passover".

Thank you Ms Church for this recipe. I have been going to it a long time. Cooking it right now for Shabbat. Shalom Shabbat. Thank you Weezie (Ontario) for your comment. I agree. So sad how people use this for negative and this is for the worship of our God. Shabbot Shalom

I too am a Member of The Church of Christ, my father handed down a recipe. 3 flour 2 water 1 olive oil. I will try your recipe and see if I prefer it. Thank You and God Bless!

Thank you Mrs. Church.

Will be using this recipe for Passover. Hope many of every church learn about and keep this important feast of the one true God, as He has commanded.

We have always called this "Bible School Bread" at my house. Not only is it delicious with honey but it makes wonderful pizza crust!

Thank you for the recipe!

Wow, all these comments... Aren't we here to comment about unleavened bread? :)

I will try!
