Easy Passover Bread
Passover Bread, also known as Unleavened bread, is a type of bread that is made without yeast. Jews traditionally eat it during the Passover holiday. Here's an easy unleavened bread recipe that can be made with either Matzo Meal or Matzo Crackers; you need to grind the crackers finely. It is great on its own and even better topped with butter or cream cheese. It can also be used as sandwich bread.
Ingredients
- 350 g (3 cups) matzo meal
- 8 large eggs, beaten , at room temperature
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups water
- 1-¾ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1-½ tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line (2) 13x18-inch baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. If using Matzo Crackers, break them up and place them into a food processor (or blender), and pulse matzo until finely ground; you'll likely need 2 boxes, but you won't use them all.
- In a medium nonstick pot, combine the water, oil, salt, and sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the matzo meal; stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined and pull away from the sides of the pot; the mixture will be very thick. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and set it aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Add the beaten eggs, a little at a time, stirring well with a wooden spoon after each addition, until evenly combined. Use a large ice cream scoop or two spoons to drop the batter into mounds, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. With lightly oiled or wet hands, gently shape the dough into rolls. Sprinkle matzo meal over each roll and score the top with a sharp knife.
- Bake for 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 400 degrees and bake for 30 to 40 minutes longer until puffed, crisp, and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool; it is normal for the Passover rolls to deflate slightly as they cool.
Notes
How to Store & Re-Heat
To store: Passover Bread, let the rolls cool completely and store them in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls for up to a month.
To reheat: Warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes or use a toaster oven or microwave for a quick warm-up. Enjoy within a few days for optimal taste.
Make Ahead
Passover Bread can be made ahead to save time on the day of your Passover meal. Once the rolls have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you prefer to make them even further in advance, you can freeze the rolls for up to a month. When you're ready to serve, thaw them at room temperature or reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed.
How to Freeze
To freeze Passover Bread for longer storage, ensure the rolls have cooled completely. Place them in airtight freezer-safe bags or containers, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Label the bags or containers with the date for easy reference. Frozen Passover Bread can be stored for up to a month. When you're ready to enjoy them, thaw the rolls at room temperature or reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until they are warmed.
