I originally included this recipe in a different post that is all about the Passover meal as the Hebrew people originally ate it and then how Jesus radically changed it on the night before his crucifixion. Please go and read it. I condensed a whole lot of detailed information into a quick 6 minute read that hopefully will bring about some new knowledge about why we do Communion, but even more so, what God was doing all along when He set up the Passover meal for the Israelite s after He freed them from slavery in Egypt.
But I decided to separate out this recipe and publish it as a separate post for organization sake. Some years, we don't have the capacity for an entire Sedar Meal, but we always have time for this quick and easy recipe for unleavened bread.
You can also buy pre-made unleavened bread (they look a lot like crackers) in the grocery store during the week or two before Easter. Because #knowyourlimits
Unleavened Bread
Serves 8
1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
¼ cup of water, or more if needed
¼ cup of honey
*recipe from She Reads Truth
Preheat oven to 475 degrees and place a heavy baking sheet on a rack near the top. Dust a work surface and rolling pin with flour.
Add 1 cup of flour into a mixing bowl and mix with water, 1 tbsp of water at a time. Stir with a fork until the dough forms into a ball. Remove the dough to floured work surface and knead rapidly and firmly until smooth.
Roll out the dough onto floured parchment paper until it is extremely thin, dusting the rolling pin and flour as needed. With a knife or rotary, divide the rolled out dough into 4 sections but leave it on the parchment paper.
Remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven and transfer the parchment paper with the dough onto the sheet and return to oven. Bake for four minutes or until light brown. Turn each section over and bake four more minutes until crisp.
Let cool and serve drizzled with honey.
Traditionally, three unleavened matzah’s are placed in the folds of a napkin as a reminder of the haste with which the Israelites fled Egypt, leaving no time for dough to rise. Traditionally, two are consumed during the meal, and one is hidden to be found later. (we haven’t hidden any matzah in our house in the past, but we might add that in).
