Making matzo is easy. After all, one of the reasons we eat Matzo on Passover is to remind ourselves of the rush of the exodus in which our ancestors carried with them only simple dough that didn’t have time to rise. As time was the issue, the preparation must have been quick. Today, we share our easy to complete matzo recipe.
Timing is critical for a successful Passover matzo recipe
Time is a significant issue when you make your own matzo. Not more than 18 minutes can pass once the flour and water mix until the matzo baked.
Our Simple Passover Matzo Recipe
Ingredients
