Cavanagh Altar Bread - White Wafer 1-1/8 inch Cross Design - 1000 per Container

The Cavanagh Altar Bread offers a white wafer designed for liturgical use, crafted with a focus on simple, trusted ingredients and time-honored methods. This product reflects a long-standing approach to communion wafers, prioritizing a clean, respectful presentation with clarity in ritual settings.

From dough to wafer, the process is precise and consistent. The mixture is rolled and pressed between flat, rectangular plates, moving through a gas-fired oven to form wafer-thin sheets with even edges. The result is a delicate, uniform wafer that maintains structure during handling and ceremony.

To preserve handling quality, the wafers pass through a humidification stage that keeps them pliable enough to be cut into circular pieces without crumbling. As each wafer is shaped, a turning drum imprints a cross design, yielding circular wafers that carry a clear symbolic mark while remaining easy to distribute during services.
