Need Recipe For A Bread That Could Be Dunked In Liquid....

Weird request, I know. lol.. But I'm so new at this, and am SO not a baker or cook, and I know a lot of you know a whole lot more than I do. I'm looking for a bread that could be used for communion at church that could be dunked (briefly) in the juice/wine without falling to mush immediately. Sometimes we do communion in the pews, with bread already cut up and small cups of juice. But other times we come up front and every breaks off a piece of bread and dunks it into the chalice of juice.

So I'm looking for something for those dunking days. I tried one recipe that a minister gave me -- it's a sweet bread, and comes out looking like pita bread. It had potential but I don't know...I thought it was pretty awful actually. I might try that one again and leave out the honey -- maybe it would taste more like regular bread.

Obviously bread like Udi's is out -- too light and I know it disintegrates immediately in liquid because I had some that got wet accidentally. :blink:

And, I'm not sure I'm looking to replace the regular bread, so it doesn't have to be something that "tears" easily. This would be just for me, on the communion table for me to take when I get up there.

Also, if I could put one more "rule" on the recipe I'm looking for -- please no odd flours. Has to contain something I can buy easily (at Whole Foods, for instance).

Any ideas from those of you who have done lots more baking that I have? Thanks very much!

Unfortunately, that characteristic is what gluten provides. There isn't yet an ideal substitute. However, defatted corn protein may fit the bill in the future, hopefully! Perhaps try making a cracker from rice flour--may serve the purpose and not fall apart.

What if you lightly toasted it first? That's what did for dunking in cheese fondue.

Well, the thing is....the recipe that I tried was okay for dunking. It was very dense, almost like "real" pita bread. That's why I thought I'd try it again and leave out the honey so it wouldn't be sweet. Maybe it was the combination of that texture with the sweetness that I didn't like.

If I were home I'd post the recipe, but at the moment I'm killing time in the church office while my dd babysits for a class we have on Sunday afternoon.

If I could solve this communion problem I'd be very happy. :)

eta: toasting... hmm... I didn't think of that. Worth a try. I'll just have to make the *supreme* sacrifice of testing some this evening with a glass of wine, once I get home. ;)

For the fondue, I sliced bread, put olive oil on both sides and toasted it in the oven. Could sprinkle with a little garlic powder or roasted garlic and some Parm to go with second glass.

I would actually be interested to know this too, not for communion but for other types of sandwiches I have been craving lately. I used to love to make a French dip or homemade philly cheese steak with au juice for dipping. Last week I had leftover meatloaf and tried to do a meatlof sandwich on Udi's. The bread disinigrated and fell apart when the tomato sauce from the meatloaf touched it. I ended up eating it with a fork. That was when I realized I will never be able to make a meatball sandwich or anything with much dressing/sauce out of Udi's. So I was actually wondering about this myself recently. Let us know if you come up with a good recipe.

Does your communion bread need to be unleavened, meaning no yeast or rising agent?

No, any bread will do. Leavened, unleavened... flat, not-flat, small rolls, large loaf... we're totally flexible on that.

Hmm...Have you tried Chebe? I've only had their pizza crust but it's so dense I don't think it would disinigrate. They also have a bread mix: Open Original Shared Link Not sure it would tear really well because the pizza crust is sort of chewy, but perhaps you could just make small enough peices that you could dip the whole piece or cut it with a knife first.

No, I haven't tried Chebe yet. But I just ordered some from Amazon and it should be here this week! I was thinking that some sort of pizza crust might work. It doesn't have to tear because it's just going to be for me.

We have gotten the Chebe bread stick mix. Yummy. Probably dense enough. We also got a pizza dough mix of theirs that was good and might work.

How large is the serving, portioned for the communion? Is it bigger than a single bite?

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
