Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 25 min

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients. For these unleavened tortillas, only flour and water are needed, because they are unleavened bread. Flour should be sifted well, preferably a couple of times so that the flour is saturated with oxygen. You can take any flour, use oats, barley, spelt, but more often wheat.
Step 2:
Gradually pour water into a bowl with flour and knead the dough. When it is bonded into a homogeneous mass, we spread it on the table and continue to knead until a tight dough turns out. But not for long, the time should not exceed 18 minutes for all the work, you can not let the test ferment. Divide the dough into equal pieces of the desired size. We form koloboks from them.
Step 3:
First we form them into tortillas with our hands, then we roll them into thin tortillas. It is better to do this without the help of flour, but carefully so that the dough does not break. If the dough sticks strongly, you can dust the table with flour a little.
Step 4:
Prick each tortilla with a fork. You need to make more holes so that the cakes do not swell, and the dough does not burst. The tortillas are baked in a dry frying pan until lightly browned (they will not be much browned from the composition of the products), on both sides. Preheat the pan and put the tortillas on it alternately. It takes no more than two minutes to fry each one.
Step 5:
You can serve matzo simply with vegetables, or with salads, porridges, soups or hot. Although these are bland, at first glance tasteless tortillas, because they are baked without eggs, yeast and even vegetable oil, they perfectly complement any dish. Matzo will also be to the taste of those who lose weight. But first of all, it is a traditional national Jewish dish that is prepared for a religious holiday. Bon appetit!
