- pizza stone
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ⅓ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Baking Steps
- Preheat oven to 500°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
- Add olive oil and water, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead lightly for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
- Divide dough into 6–8 pieces. Or leave whole to save on time.
- Roll each piece out as thin as possible (paper-thin is best).
- Place dough onto parchment-lined baking sheet or hot pizza stone.
- Prick the surface all over with a fork to prevent puffing.
- Bake for 3–5 minutes, flip, and bake another 3–5 minutes until lightly browned and crisp.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Cut with a pizza cutter if you left the dough whole.
Notes
Work quickly to keep the process under 18 minutes for traditional unleavened matzah. Rolling the dough very thin is key for a crispy texture. Watch closely while baking—this cooks fast.
