Method
- Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare your heart and space with prayer or Scripture.
- Mix Dough: In a bowl, combine flour and water (plus oil and salt if using). Mix until a soft, smooth dough forms.
- Roll Out: Roll dough very thin about 1/16 inch thick or less. Dust surface lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Cut Wafers: Use a small round cutter or knife to make circles or squares. Optionally, press a small cross or design into each wafer using a fork or stamp.
- Bake: Place wafers on the baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden at the edges. Do not overbake or brown.
- Cool and Store: Let wafers cool completely. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until use.
Notes
Wafers should remain pale and crisp, not soft or chewy.
Gluten-free flour can be substituted if needed (e.g., rice flour or certified GF blend).
For larger batches, double or triple the recipe, and freeze extras if needed.
Use in a spirit of prayer and reverence preparation can be part of your worship.
Always consult with your church leadership if you're unsure about doctrinal preferences regarding ingredients or preparation methods.
