Passover is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the Israelites' exodus from slavery in Egypt. It is a time of remembrance and celebration, and one of the central traditions of Passover is the eating of unleavened bread, or matzo. Matzo is a simple bread made from flour and water, and it is typically baked into flat, thin sheets. Unleavened bread is eaten during Passover because it is symbolic of the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt, when they did not have time to let their bread rise.
Let's cook with our recipes!
UNLEAVENED BREAD FOR PASSOVER
This is the recipe we use for observing Passover at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church. You can use syrup or sugar instead of the honey, but I like the honey. I'd also make this for the kids and I to eat as a snack.

UNLEAVENED BREAD
Darlene Kossman made this for passover meal April 15th, 1987. It took 5 people to make 2 batches = 100; one big one on cookie sheet for pastor. Figure to cut in 3 parts Helen, 2 Wilma, 2 Phyllis, 2 Darlene, 1 pastor. 60 circles without Phyllis (these are notes on recipe). It has egg in it; that seems like leavening to me but this is the recipe she had.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your unleavened bread. Use unbleached all-purpose flour, fine sea salt, and fresh water.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Unleavened bread is a delicate bread, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't substitute ingredients or change the proportions.
- Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten and make the bread chewy. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise: Even though unleavened bread doesn't contain yeast, it still needs to rise before baking. Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature: Unleavened bread should be baked at a high temperature (450°F) so that it cooks quickly and doesn't dry out.
Conclusion:
Unleavened bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a popular choice for Passover and other Jewish holidays. With a little practice, you can easily make unleavened bread at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
