Passover and Unleavened Bread

Passover is this next friday and the feast of Unleavened Bread for the next week starting on Passover.  Here is the matzah recipe that I use to bake fresh matzah every night during the feast of Unleavened Bread.  I generally make 1/4 batch for myself so I have freshly made every night.  As you can see, the recipe is extremely easy:

Homemade Matzah 

Full batch makes 16 pieces

4 cups flour (can be half white or half whole wheat)
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, oil will make it soft like a tortilla, No oil it will be a cracker) (optional)

1. Combine ingredients and knead for ten minutes.
2. Roll into a ball, cut in half, then cut each half into 8 pieces.
3. Roll out each piece as thinly as possible into ovals,.
4. pierce with a fork several times, to eliminate air holes,.
5. and place on baking sheet covered with Parchment Paper.
6. Bake at 450 to 500 for about 5 minutes, or until slightly browned.
