Prepare homemade unleavened bread for your Passover celebration with this simple recipe.

To complete this How-To you will need:

1 c. cold spring water
3 c. kosher for Passover flour
Large bowl
Rolling pin
Cookie sheet
Parchment paper
Fork
Airtight container

Step 1: Clean everything

Make sure the baking area is completely clean. Clean the oven and the counters thoroughly and clean, then boil, any utensils you'll be using.

Step 2: Heat the oven

Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 3: Combine water and flour

Put the flour into a large bowl and gradually add the water as you knead the dough until it's no longer sticky. Work quickly: No more than 18 minutes can pass between the time the water hits the flour and you put the dough in the oven to avoid the possibility that the dough could ferment and rise on its own.

Tip: If a large amount of matzo is needed for your Passover celebration, bake additional batches separately; the time constraints make it difficult to increase the recipe.

Step 4: Roll it out

Roll out the dough as thinly as possible and transfer it to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, or separate the dough and roll out a series of small, round matzoth. Use a fork to make rows of perforations in the flattened dough.

Step 5: Bake it

Bake until it's browned and crispy, five to eight minutes. Let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. Makes about eight servings.

@kalilabaz Indeed. But it's still fun to know the traditions and try the foods :) I like the knowing the histories and traditions. I'd like to see people hold on to those aspects and abandon the hocus pocus.

The sephardic one is very similar to palestinian and lebanese bread (done on ''saj'')

[onemanband613]

It's only nonsense to you because you have no belief or fully educated in the Bible. I think your "vegan-only" is nonsense.

[kalilabaz]

religeous nonsense
