Communion wafers are simply wafer-thin unleavened bread.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup bread flour
- 1 cup wheat germ
- 1/4 cup corn oil
- 1/8 cup honey
- 1/4 cup milk (I used 100% lactaid free, 1% fat)
Directions:
- 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 2Measure and mix flour and wheatgerm.
- 3Measure and add three liquids.
- 4Stir throughly till mixture comes away from sides of the bowl.
- 5Form into two balls. You can hold, refrigerate, or freeze the dough for later.
- 6Flatten balls on a cookie sheet or baking pan.
- 7Stone or non-stick surfaces work well. If not "unstick"--sprinkle the baking surface with cornmeal or line it with aluminum foil.
- 8Bake for 20 minutes.
- 9Let cool several minutes--bread will be very hot.

Saint Keebler delegates to specially designated elves the authority vested in him by the Vatican to... oh wait, that's not right. :-D In some parishes the Host is prepared by nuns (not as common in the US) or supplied by a sanctioned supplier (this is Roman Catholic practice, I'm not so sure about Protestants, though it's likely similar ... Hosts R Us or something lol). In Byzantine Catholic parishes, the Host is often baked on premises by volunteers from among the parishioners. Whether it is the wafer or the baked loaves of the Eastern rite, both are similar unleavened bread from Judeo custom. The Host is transformed, of course, during the sacrament of communion upon the altar and we (Christians) partake of this transformed Host as part of our "communion" with God through Christ. (Side note: the recipe above is for unleavened bread, but the Byzantine Eastern Catholic recipe only allows for: fine (white) wheat flour, pure water, yeast and salt. Milk is not allowed, nor honey.
