I'm straying rather far from the original inquiry, but anyone interested in 
Communion bread is bound to find this site interesting:

http://www.prosphora.org/ - "The only place on the World Wide Web devoted 
exclusively to Orthodox Christian Holy Bread."

It has links, recipes and all kinds of information on making Communion 
bread for Eastern Orthodox churches (Greek, Russian, etc.), including 
sources for the special stamp or seal (prosphora) for imprinting the 
top.  Also recipes for Western forms of Communion bread or wafers 
(http://www.prosphora.org/page35.html), as well as discussion of the 
theology of why various ingredients are used or not used.
