Soft Unleavened Bread Recipes

BAKED UNLEAVENED BREAD (HANDMADE SOFT MATZO)

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients to make a ball of soft dough.
• Cut a piece of parchment paper 18" long. Sprinkle with flour and roll the dough into a 15x8 oval atop of the parchment paper.
• Lightly score the top by running a knife through the top to make diamond shapes. (Don't cut all the way down. This is just to make serving easier and presentable.)
• Transfer the paper onto a baking sheet and place it on the bottom rack of the oven. Broil at High for about 5 minutes per side or until bread is spotted and golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Mix all dry ingredients until well blended.
• Add in wet ingredients and mix together, just enough to moisten. This shouldn't require much kneading. Allow to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature (cover dough while resting).
• Pinch off balls approx 2" in diameter and roll to smooth. When all balls are formed, roll each one into a 5" circle approximately the thickness of of a pie crust.
• Bake each round on a pizza tray on lowest rack in oven for about 3 minutes. They should bubble up a bit and be slightly browned. Don't over bake.
• Keep in refrigerator or freeze in small batches as they have a fairly short shelf life due to their deliciousness and lack of leavening and preservatives.
