Matzah – Homemade

WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE: Homemade matzah is a nice change from the boxed matzah that we eat at Passover. This recipe is similar to a lavash with a bit of matzahy taste. It is excellent with cream cheese or jelly.

Ingredients

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450°.

• Mix in water until a soft dough forms.
• Knead gently with your hands until the dough is soft.
• Divide the dough into two balls. Place one ball on a mat with a small amount of olive oil rather than flour to roll the dough paper thin rectangle. You can use a glass or rolling pin to roll the dough
• Cut the dough into 4 squares or rectangles. Place each piece on a parchment lined baking sheet. Prick with the tines of a fork.
• Repeat with the other ball of dough.
• Bake 4 minutes on each side.
