"Priory  Altar  Bread" (Sister Kiara)

7/8 cup lukewarm water
3 Tablespoons honey (can add 1 more of honey, molasses or brown sugar)
1 pkg. yeast
1-1/2 Tbs. oil
1/4 tsp. salt (make it 1/2)
2-2/3 cups whole wheat flour (or 1/2 whole wheat 1/2 bread flour), 
  or enough flour to make soft, manageable dough

Dissolve honey and yeast in water.  
Add oil, salt, flour.  
Knead until firm and elastic, 5-10 min.  
Place in greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth.
Let rise until double in bulk.  
[It can be frozen at this point or kept refridgerated for no more than two days]. 
Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.  
Knead briefly into small, round loaves.  
A small pie pan will make a round loaf for 150-200 people.  
Bake immediately (no 2nd rising) in 350 degree oven for about 30 min.  
The loaves should sound hollow when tapped; but not get too brown on top.  
This recipe for communion bread makes a loaf which breaks easily and does not crumble.   
A loaf 6" x 1 1/2" -  2"  will serve about 200 people.

Faithfully,
