Homemade Matzah 4 cups flour (can be half white and half whole wheat) 1 1/2 cups water 2 tbl. olive oil (optional)-- this will make it softer, more like a tortilla; w /o oil, you'll have a cracker Combine ingredients and knead for ten minutes. Roll into a ball, cut in half, then cut each half into 8 pieces. Roll out as thinly as possible into ovals, pierce with a fork several times, to eliminate air holes, and place on baking sheet covered with Parchment Paper. Bake at 450 to 500 for about 5 minutes, or until slightly browned. Fresh homemade matzah is SO good, and this is a great Homeschool project!
