Matzah

April 3, 2017 KJA

The Egyptian Karaite Jewish community had a delicious and unique way of making matzah. Those Karaites use the following matzah recipe for general consumption during Passover; a less flavorful version of the recipe, however, is used during the Passover haggadah reading.

Ingredients 

  • 4 cups of flour(not self-rising or containing rising agents)
  • 2 heaping tablespoons of crushed coriander seeds
  • 1 level teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sunflower oil
  • 3/4 cup of water and add more as needed

Tools

  • Food processor or coffee grinder
  • rolling pin
  • large bowl(to knead flour in)
  • baking sheet
  • oven

  • Preheat the oven to 355 degrees Fahrenheit and oil the baking sheet. 
  • Freshly grind coriander with blender. Mix ground coriander and salt into the flour
  • Add the oil and knead it into the flour.
  • Gradually knead the water into the dough until the dough is no longer sticky
  • Flatten the dough with a roller until it is 1 cm (about 1 /2 inch) thick; shape it to fit on the baking sheet.
  • Place the dough on the baking sheet and cut into squares or triangles
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes until crispy like a dry cracker.
  • For subsequent batches, wash utensils thoroughly and repeat.
