Proposed Bread Recipes for the Holy Eucharist at St. Cronan's

I just came across these recipes. I am forwarding these to the Archdiocese. My guess is that they will result in invalid matter.

Recipe #1
Preheat oven to 375°
Sift together:
1.5 c whole wheat flour
1.5 c white flour
1.5 T baking powder
1 t salt
Add:
1 c water
.25 c honey
3 T cooking oil

Recipe #2
Preheat oven to 425°
Sift together:
1.5 c whole wheat flour
.5 c white flour
.5 t salt
.5 t baking soda
Cut in:
1.5 T butter or vegetable shortening
Add:
4-5 T honey
Add in small amounts:
up to .75 c cold water
I suppose if one is going to ignore or reject the liturgical laws and directives of the Church with regard to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, why bother with having valid matter. After all, is the Real, True, and Substantial Presence of Christ in the 'gathered community' or in the consecrated bread and wine?
