"...hapless presiders wrestling great inflated loaves never designed for breaking..." that was me pre-pandemic when a bread-breaking guild would make these fabulous artisanal loaves that are great for eating but not for Eucharist, I'm afraid. I give thanks for the local Jewish bakery that makes perfect pita.
