March : Passover is already here !

Sunday, March 21st, we went to the eastern suburbs to start celebrating Passover. It all started off in song with 'Baby Moses' and once we came to the point where Moses was all grown up and living in the "palace" we set up around the table and had a short "seder" where we learnt about the traditions, discussed the seder plate, and sang the Mah Nishtanah.


At the point where we usually break for the meal, we headed to the kitchen to bake our matzah.

Homemade Matzah recipe :

Ingredients :
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
water

Preheat the oven to 450° (or higher).
In a large bowl mix the flour and water until you have a soft, kneadable dough.
Knead for 5 minutes
Let the dough rest for a couple of minutes
Break off egg-sized portions of dough and stretch each portion as thin as you can
Then roll it into even thinner oval slabs
Prick each slab with a fork to form a line of wholes
Place slabs in the baking sheets and palce it in the oven.

Bake until matzah is crisp and buckled 8-10 minutes. Cool

NOTE : You only have 18 minutes from the time the flour meets the water to put the matzah in the oven or the dough will begin to rise.
