Cavanagh Altar Bread - 1 1/8 inch White, 1000 per Container

Overview

The Cavanagh Altar Bread is crafted to honor historical liturgical guidelines, using only flour and water as the base. The dough is spread between flat, rectangular plates and pressed through a gas-fired oven, producing wafer-thin rectangular sheets. A humidification step softens the surface, helping the wafers maintain their shape as they are cut into circles. As the circles emerge, a turning drum with engraved religious symbols imprints the design, including a cross, to guide ceremonial use.

Tradition and Consistency

The result is a white, wafer-thin altar bread that offers dependable consistency for ritual settings. The process emphasizes uniformity across batches, which can help planners and clergy achieve a consistent visual during services.
