Baking

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my which bodyis given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Luke 22:19

Since the chaplain has been planning a special communion service, we decided that we wanted to use something besides the chapel's styrofoam wafers for the elements. I went to Yongsan searching for something that would be appropriate to use as unleavened bread, but the one day I traveled down there was the day the commissary was closed for inventory or something. Grrrrrr........


I should not get too growly, because it turned out for the best. I did a little research, discovered whole wheat flour at our little commissary (THAT was a miracle!), and decided to bake the communion bread myself. I found a recipe that made 8 small "loaves," and although I have not tasted it, even if it tastes like styrofoam, it sure looks better!
