UNLEAVENED BREAD 
1 cup whole wheat flour (extra for dusting)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup water

The idea for this recipe came from I Kings 17:10-16, the story of Elijah and the widow.

Combine the ingredients, then put dough onto floured surface. Knead for five minutes, then roll out until about 1/8 inch thick. On either parchment paper or a greased cookie sheet, bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 minutes.

This bread is suitable for the Lord's Supper if you are a member of the Church of Christ.

i made this bread (had no whole wheat flour so used regular) not expecting much and was totally blown away by the flavor and consistency. I couldn't stop eating eat. My daughter has been asking me all week to make more. So here I am again, making another batch.

I have not made this yet, so I cannot rate it. Everyone says it is good, though, so I am hoping. I have looked at the Jewish kosher recipes and they say to leave out the oil, get the dough mixed and in the oven within 18 minutes and bake it at high temperature (450 to 500 degrees) for only a couple of minutes. I wonder how that would work with this recipe. I want to use the oil; otherwise, it would just be a flour and water paste, wouldn't it? Salt sounds good, too.

I am not surprised to read all the comments here with Christians-in-name-only riding rough shod over each other. I believe that what the Bible reveals from OT to NT is that God wants a close personal relationship with his little creature, man. Follow in His footsteps as closely as you can and leave the judging to Him.

I was laughing while reading the comments and my 7 year old son asked what was funny. I told him people were adding about baking bread. He said, "That's stupid." Talk about from the mouth of babes.

Please note that Unleavened bread is also found in Exodus. It is used by the Jewish People during the feast of Passover. It is used for eight days (and nights).The festive meal, the Seder is a home service that focuses on retelling the story of Passover and the escape from Egypt. Pleas note that most families don't make their own Matzah any more (no one has the time). It is for sale in the Kosher food section of your local food store, although you are more likely to find it in areas with Jewish families living nearby. Most of the Matzah is made in the US and Canada, but some is imported from Israel. There are different flavors, but not all of the product is Kosher for Passover. It's tastes great with butter, margarine, jams and jellies, cream cheese and tuna fish salad. It can also be fried in a scramble eggs or omelet mixture. Enjoy.

You people can't even agree on how to make bread according to the bible and you use the same book to find your beliefs on how to be saved.

Amazing.

Anyway, thanks for the recipe. My girlfriend just likes the way it tastes and we make it for fun.

I made the ingredients for a tuna sandwich but couldn't find any bread in my house for dinner.
Being in a hurry, I found this and made myself what amounted to a giant cracker in about half an hour. I threw the tuna on and it was perfect!
I added some seasoned salt to add some flavor.
Thanks!

Many of us have a surprise coming. It is amazing how we all speak so convincingly about what we believe in but I am longing for that time to come when the Lord will show us who was practising the truth.

I have not yet prepared this yet, but plan to today. I d just like to say, that I was looking for this recipe because I was totally disillusioned when I looked up the origins of Easter. According to the New Testament, Jesus told the apostles to continue to observe Passover in remembrance of Him and also to go out and teach everything they had learned to Jews and gentiles alike. I don't think He had in mind naming a similar holiday after the goddess ishtar and using bunnies as a symbol of fertility. The early christians went on to observe this and even the feet washing ceremony. I believe it was the Romans who changed the holiday to be kept as separate from the Jews as they could, due to the anti-semitism. Just saying, I was under the impression this was for the Jewish faith, but I think I have been made aware of a tradition Jesus meant for us to keep whether we are gentile or Jew. Next year I will be including Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread in my celebration of the resurrection of my Savior. God's love to you all and remember, we all have room to study and learn more. :)

I was very delighted to have found this recipe early Easter morning when I realized that my family was responsible for supplying the unleavened bread for a small service later that morning. I believe that if I had olive oil, it would have been more authentic. I chose peanut oil over canola and unbleached all purpose flour for the substitutes and cooked it on an ungreased pampered chef baking stone. Even with these necessary adaptions the bread still had a good texture that was easily torn and chewed. It definitely had a much better taste than any of those little soda crackers and styrafoam disk that are distributed in a lot of churches. Thank you for taking the time to submit this perfect recipe.

I tried this recipe because I am Daniel fasting, I tried it as is and ate it with homemade hummus and I also added chopped onions. I hope this isn't controversial, I would not make it with onions for communion but it can be eaten as part of the diet for Daniel fasting with onions and I would recommend it with onions for Daniel fasting but not for communion.

This recipe was found by me in about 2002, but I lost it, and tho it's only 3 ingredients, I also forgot. Recently my family and I moved to a new area and haven't decided which church of Christ will be the one we regularly attend, so meanwhile we need Sunday Lord's supper. Amazing that I so easily found this same recipe that I loved when I found it the first time. Your website is loaded with some wonderful and tasty recipes, so I'm here looking at you.... ;)

Thank you for the recipe. Will make it for the times I am not able to attend worship service. Sad to see fellow Christians bashing the sharing of a recipe by a thoughtful person. I saw no effort on her part to exclude anyone. She just probably is a member of the Church of Christ and mentions that it is suitable for those congregations. Love one another. Love won another. Let there be no divisions among you. Is it so difficult to be kind?
