Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (kosher for Passover)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water and olive oil.
Stir the ingredients together with a spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead it for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic. Do not over-knead as the dough does not contain leavening agents.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a small ball.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin round or oval shape, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Aim for a uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
Place the flattened dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the bread is firm.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve. The bread can be eaten plain or used as a base for various Passover dishes.
