This thread has reminded me of something I had been planning to ask about.
We (well, not I personally, but most of my countrymen) are celebrating 1,000
years of Christianity this year and one of the things the Church has planned
is to get every congegration to bake their own altarbread/communion bread.
The following is taken from an interview I was reading a couple of days ago:

"The bread is unleavened and the recipe dates from 1100, but the bread is
mostly flour and water, and it is baked in a large pan and is about as thick
as "skúffukaka" (well-known Icelandic cake, usually about an inch thick).
... We will publish the recipe in a leaflet and send it to every church and
hope it will be used to bake altarbread."

I haven´t seen the recipe yet but I´d like to know - is there really such a
recipe, dating from 1100 AD? Or is the "recipe" just a reconstruction, based
on descriptions of communion bread around this time? Does anyone know?
