Matzah

Matzah (maces) is a traditional Jewish unleavened bread in the form of flat, crispy crackers, made solely from flour and water without any leavening agents. It is an essential part of the Passover seder, during which leavened bread is forbidden. Its flavour is neutral and slightly starchy, with a brittle, crunchy texture. In the kitchen it is eaten on its own, or ground as a substitute for breadcrumbs, used in matzah balls or various desserts. It is also popular outside Jewish communities as a light cracker.
