Matzah (Unleavened Bread)

In this episode, I make Matzah, which is unleavened bread and possibly even better known as Communion Bread. I make Matzah almost every week for our congregation. It is very easy to make (takes all of about 20 minutes) and tastes much better than those pre-packaged burnt crackers that you get at your supermarket. I encourage y'all to give this a shot one day for your congregation. This recipe makes enough for about 20-25 GENEROUS portions, which given the small amount most people take for communion would probably yield enough for about 50 or so.

Here are the ingredients:
2 Cups of All-Purpose Flour (NOT self-rising)
3/4 Cup of Water
1-2 Tbs of Olive Oil*

*Or even 1/2Tbs will work. Less oil will make it crisper (more cracker-like) and more oil will make it softer more bread-like. I use 2 Tbs because that is what our group likes, but you can do whatever your group likes.

Can we add a pinch of salt so it doesn't taste flat?

[ChefMerlin]

im not sure as far as Jewish rules go, but as far as for personal use or I would even say for the Lord's Supper that it would be fine to add some salt.

For sundays? follow the lord not the people

[ChefMerlin]

The example we have from the Bible is the first day of the week... a.k.a. Sunday as the Sabbath has always been the 7th day... i.e. Friday at Sunset until Saturday at Sunset (Saturday on the Jewish calendar). Read Acts 20:7 and following... one of the express purposes for Paul tarrying was to "break bread" with them on the first day of the week.

Cool, 5 stars :-)) I will try it make it :-))... Can I use regular oil like sunflower oil or must be Olive Oil?? Thanks

[ChefMerlin]

Regular vegetable oil should be fine, but it will not taste exactly the same.  I have always used Olive Oil.

I don't think you can call this matzah; it looks like you took more than eighteen minutes to make it.
