Jewish Matzo - tortillas in the form of a rug

Matzo - ritual tortillas, a reminder of the biblical "manna from heaven". Matzo is a ritual bread that is baked on Passover in memory of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. About the very time when the Jews had to flee in a hurry and there was no time to bake bread for the road. It is used as bread with any food. But you can also make many different dishes from matzo itself. And dumplings, and matsebray, you can even bake cakes, because the use of any other flour except matzo is prohibited these days. Kosher is only matzo and flour from ground matzo. The culinary recipe for matzo is extremely simple. Matzo itself can be made from any flour - wheat, rye, barley or oatmeal. What to do if the ancestors of the Jews did not have time to bake anything delicious and during the flight took with them only flour and water, which they had prepared in the evening for unleavened bread.

Carefully sift the flour through a sieve, and pour water into it in a trickle, stirring constantly. There should be no lumps. We roll out very thin tortillas with a thickness of no more than 1.5 mm. The rolled dough is often often pierced with a fork or a special board with a lot of protruding nails. Bake in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius.
Such matzo can be stored for a long time, and it turns out crispy and brittle.
