Lord's Day Bread recipe

[PattyPryor]

As many of you know I made a thread on making my Lord’s Day more Holy.

I have been searching and feel I am finally getting this right to what I want.

However, I am wondering what sort of bread recipe I should do since I would like to break bread on Saturday Night (using the wonderful ceremony I found)

I was thinking of Challah bread, but I just feel that is more Jewish and would like to start my own tradition.

Does this recipe look and feel “Catholic” to you all? I don’t want unleaved bread because of course I will be going to Mass to receive Jesus

Hi Patty,

Your bread recipe reminds me of the bread we used to get for Communion when I was growing up in the Russian Orthodox church. I come from a family where my mom’s side is R.O. and dad’s side is Catholic. I was a lucky kid, celebrating two Christmases and sometimes Easters. I’ve since become Catholic for several reasons and I’m very happy.

Anyway, our R.O. priest’s wife, we called her Matushka, baked this bread. They used to leave a loaf cut up in small cubes on a tray in the aisle (presumable unconsecrated, but I’m not sure) so folks can take a few pieces on their way out if they wanted. If I remember correctly, and it’s been 34 years since I received Eucharist in the R.O. church, the bread was placed in the chalice of wine, and the priest dispensed it to each parishioner with a little gold spoon. Any Orthodox folks out there, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Here’s a Google search result with plenty of links and images you can browse:

I don’t remember it having the stamped seal.

It’s a great idea and I’d love to hear how it goes!
