Where is Matzo come from?

Answer 1

Matzah represents the flat bread eaten by the ancient Israelites as they fled from Egypt. They didn't have time to allow for the dough to rise. So by that logic, it originated in Egypt.

The spelling "Matzo" comes from the Ashkenazic dialect of Hebrew.
Matzo or matzah bread is an unleavened bread traditionally eaten by Jews during the week-long Passover holiday. Believe to originate in Israel.

Answer 2

Matzah originated during the Exodus from Egypt, both because of God's command and because the haste of leaving Egypt did not provide time for baking leavened bread (Exodus ch.12). Jews have eaten matzoh during the entire 3300 years since then, each year during Passover.

Answer 3

Matzo is cracker-like unleavened bread, generally made from just wheat flour and water. There is also a gluten-free version made of oat flour and water.

There are special rich types of matzo which are made with eggs and Grape Juice instead of the water, and flavored versions that may contain onions etc.

I especially like chocolate coated matzo!

Answer 8

Challah is a Jewish bread made to celebrate the Sabbath and festivals. There are distinctive challah recipes and styles in all lands where Jews live. The braided challah that is popular among Ashkenazic Jews appears to have emerged among Jews somewhere north of the Alps. It is not wrong to say that challah -- as the idea of a special Sabbath bread, comes from the ancient land of Israel, but that was probably a flat bread not unlike today's pita. The cuisines of the Jewish diaspora have evolved from this, incorporating many cooking technologies from the lands where Jews have lived.
