Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour (or matzah flour for stricter observance)
- 0.5 cups Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.
Measure all ingredients in advance to ensure the entire process takes under 18 minutes, as per Passover tradition.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and water. Mix quickly to form a dough. Do not overwork the dough.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin, evenly flattened disc or rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.
Use a fork to prick holes all over each piece of dough to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Carefully place the rolled and perforated dough pieces onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone.
Bake for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and bake for another 3-4 minutes, or until the matzah is crispy and lightly browned.
Remove the matzah from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
