For Jehovah's Witnesses, what are the ingredients to the bread and the wine?

It can be as simple as store-bought kosher flatbread and simple grape-based wine. The emphasis is on unleavened bread and the wine being a decent comparison to what was drank at the passover.

We always mix wheat flour and water and fry it in a pan. The wine is what would have been available to them in Egypt, just a red grape wine, unadulterated thus reflecting the purity of Jesus' sacrifice.

E 1. 240 grams of flour 

  1. 60 ml of water 

  2. Mix untill the dough does not stick on the wall of the (glass) potter.

  3. Take the dough on the table and with a bit dried flour mix it about 5 min.

  4. Separate the dough in 2 pieces and make them into round balls and then stretch them like round plates of about 3 mm.

  5. Put the dough plate in a slightly oiled Pan and perforate some holes with a fork.

  6. Place the Pan in a preheated oven with 230 Celsius for about 8 Minutes.

To find a proper answer to this good question, have a look at their 12/15 2013 Watchtower magazine. The paragraphs 5-7, under the subtitle 'The Emblems' should interest you.

As a summary, the bread was made from wheat flour and water, without any leaven or seasoning, such as salt, being added. Because it was unleavened, it would not have risen.

[UPDATE] They recently edited a video on how to make the bread : How to Make Memorial Bread

For the wine, as there was no need for augmenting or fortifying the value of Jesus’ blood, the wine used is not a type fortified with brandy or spices. Plain red wine should be used, a homemade wine or a commercial wine, such as Beaujolais, Burgundy, or Chianti.
