Ingredients in homemade communion bread

[hamburglar]

I had always thought that homemade bread to be used during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass had to be made of only wheat and water.

My college uses homemade bread often, made by a club on campus. I asked how they made it, and they said they used, water and two kinds of flour.

Is this validly made bread?

What type of flour?

If the flour is wheat flour then all you have is water and wheat. What’s the problem?

On the odd occasion when I’ve been called to make it I used water and two kinds of flour: whole wheat & all purpose. Bread was perfectly valid.
Now, if they use rye or rice flour then there is a problem.

That’s what I was asking. For some reason I’ve had the idea that by wheat it is meant that they grind up the actual wheat stalk, mixed it with water, and voila! I had thought that flour had something besides just wheat in it, like preservatives or something, or something to make it white.

They use two types of flour, not sure what they are, though.

If white flour were a problem then most of the altar breads we get would be invalid.

As I understand it ONLY wheat flour and water are allowed. Any other ingredient renders the wafer illicit.

White flour is wheat. It has been bleached. Any other ingredient such as rice or honey renders the host** invalid**.
