In the Byzantine Catholic rite, the bread is leavened. It is called "Prosphora," and is made of wheat flour, yeast, and water. Salt is optional, but no other ingredients are allowed. After its final rise, it is "stamped" with a round stamp that has symbols for the Paschal Lamb and the monogram "N I K A." The priest cuts this loaf into small pieces and places them into the Paschal Blood, then given to communicants on a gold spoon.
