Making Matzo Bread

Matzah is mentioned in the Torah several times in relation to The Exodus from Egypt:

On two occasions in early April 2015, I made my matzo bread for the first time. Super thin, crispy "bread" slightly larger than a saucer plate.

On my first attempt, I used 100% all-purpose flour. For batch number two, I used 100% white whole wheat flour. For batch number three, I pulverized spelt berries or kernels in our Vitamix. I used 100% spelt flour for this batch. I liked the white whole wheat version the best thus far. I would like try milled spelt, rye, and red whole wheat versions.

I adapted from this recipe:

White Whole Flour

  • 150 g www
  • 100 g water

Mix the two ingredients into a ball, kneading for a couple minutes.

Divide ball in half multiple times until 8 pieces. Then round each piece into a ball.

Flatten and roll out each dough ball into a paper-thin disk, approx 6 to 9 inches in diameter. Add flour to counter, dough, and/or rolling pin to keep dough from sticking to pin.

Preheat oven at 475 degrees with baking sheet on the top rung in the oven.

I could only bake four at a time. I used nothing else on the baking sheet. I placed the disks directly on the pre-heated sheet.

Bake for 2 to 2.5 min, flip the disks, and then bake for another 2 to 2.5 min until brown.

A total time of 5 min seemed to be too long, so I'll stick with around 2 min and 15 secs per side.

After baking, placed thin, sturdy, crispy disks on a cooling rack.

Brushed olive oil on only the top side.

Sprinkled on some sea salt and/or pepper.

Not much to it. One night, I topped one baked disk with pasta sauce and Turkey Foot Creek goat cheese chevre and warmed it in the microwave to melt the cheese. Mini pizza.

The bread was good dipped in DD's homemade hummus.
