Our Favorite Matzah

This is our family's favorite matzah. We eat it throughout the Feast of Unleavened Bread. We make sandwiches with it, we make pizza on it, we dip it in soup, we make garlic bread out of it, we make toast with it in the morning - the sky is the limit.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups whole wheat flour (for THM, use sprouted whole wheat or spelt)
  • 1 tbsp pink salt
  • 2 cups water, milk, or whey from straining yogurt
  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 tbsp honey (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Grease 2 cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  3. Mix all the ingredients, preferably in a stand mixer. You may need to add more liquid a tablespoon at a time, especially if you don't use the honey, until you reach dough consistency. If it gets too wet, add a little more flour. This recipe is very forgiving!
  4. Do not allow the dough to rest. Immediately divide it between the two pans and spread it evenly out to the edges of the pan like you would for pizza.
  5. Poke the dough with a fork and score stripes onto it with a knife. (This keeps it from puffing up but is also a visual reminder that He was pierced for our transgressions, and by His stripes, we are healed. The kids and I usually quote these verses together every time we do this step.)
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes. I usually put one pan on each rack for 7 minutes and then switch them for the last 7 so they bake evenly.
  7. Let cool and then cut into whatever shapes you want.
