How To Make Matzah
Making matzah can be a powerful and fun way to share the Passover story with friends and family, and here is a quick recipe and how-to guide for making matzah at home. 1. Oven: Put the oven through a full self-cleaning cycle to make it kosher for Passover. 2. Prepare the oven by lining the oven shelf with floor tiles.
Leave some space between the tiles and the sides of the oven. 1. Set oven on the highest temperature setting. 2. Place a clean paper on work surface and prepare utensils. 3. At this point, the clock begins to tick. There must be no more than 18 minutes from the time the water is mixed with the flour until the time the matzah has been completely baked in the oven. 4. Depending on how many matzot you want, measure 1 part water and 3 parts flour. 5. Quickly mix and knead into a firm ball of 1-2 inches.
6. Roll out dough as thin as possible (the traditional shapes are square or round). 7. Poke holes in the dough. 8. Check to make sure no more than 15 minutes have passed since the flour and water were mixed. Put the matzah onto the tiles in the hot oven.
9. Bake on tiles for 2-3 minutes until done. 10. Remove using the peel. It is best to have a few people working together when making matzah. Have one person do the mixing and the kneading, while another person rolls out the dough, and the final person places the matzah into the oven. This can be a fun activity to do the afternoon before the Passover Seder. However, while having fun, make certain the matzah you are making is kosher for Passover. No more than 18 minutes can pass from the time the flour and water are mixed until the time the matzah is completely baked.
