As other bread, Sweet Communion Bread needs to bake in the preheated oven. The dough needs to be kneaded well and while baking the bread, you need to check every 15 minutes to apply butter. Cooking time takes a total of 1 hour 15 minutes. But the result will come out surprisingly delicious. Get your hands clean, cooking tools and ingredients. It’s time.

In a large mixing bowl. Mix the all-purpose flour/ bread flour and salt together.

Step 5:
Now pour the water honey mixture into the mixing bowl where you already make the flour mixture. Add 1/4 cups of melted butter to the mixtures. Mix well. At this step, all your hands will stick a lot of dough but after a while, when the dough is mixed well, it will release your fingers.
Step 6:
Continue stirring the dough with the remaining butter and sit aside for later. When the dough has rested enough, it will become softer.

Then carefully knead the dough for 10 minutes with your hands on a floured surface.
