Author Wolterman Homestead

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Organic All-Purpose Flour (spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off)
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Water

Instructions

  • Turn on oven broiler 525°
  • Place the flour, salt and olive oil in a standing mixing bowl and slowly stir in the water until combined. Mix until dough forms a rough ball.
  • Place the dough on a clean spot on your kitchen counter. Cut the dough into 12 small balls — this is easiest if you cut the ball in half, then in half again, then into thirds.
  • On a lightly-floured surface, use your hand to flatten each ball into a 3-inch patty. Use a rolling pin to roll each patty into a 6- to 8-inch circle. The shapes can be irregular, but the dough should be so thin you can almost see through it. (It's good to turn the dough a few times as you roll to prevent sticking, but you don't need to worry about it too much as the dough is easy to peel of the counter.)
  • Put a few pieces of the rolled-out dough on a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet. Prick the dough all over with a fork (this keeps it from puffing up too much).
  • Bake on broil for 2 to 4 minutes, keeping a very close eye on them, until they are golden and puffed in spots. Flip the matzos over and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more on the second side, until golden. Repeat with all the dough and let cool completely.
