Usually flat bread doesn't contain yeast nor salt or baking powder as these are the normal ingredients which cause bread, bisquits etc. to rise and not be flat. Soft taco shells and pita pockets are forms of flat bread.

Can flour be substituted for matzo meal?

Asked by Wiki User

No - matzo bread or crackers are unleavened ( no yeast) often comprising just flour and water, and are baked for consumption at Passover. Matzo meal is the equivalent of dry breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs.

What are matzo crackers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Matza is unleavened bread made with just flour and water. There is no leavening used. Essentially, it's like a really big (unleavened) cracker or hardtack.

In order for it to be kosher for Passover, it must be baked within 18 minutes of the time that the flour is mixed with water (and ordinary store-bought flour is not used, since normal processing includes washing of harvested wheat).

It is specifically eaten during Passover. However, some people may eat it year round because they enjoy it.

Where is Matzo come from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Asked by Wiki User

The Columbian exchange, made available several ingredients for the Mexican cuisine, including wheat flour, butter and eggs which complemented already-existing ingredients such as corn and chocolate. Some examples of modern breads include:

  • Bolillo bread - a variation of the baguette, often used to eat other dishes. It is also sometimes filled with meat and cheese like sandwiches, or with beans and cheese, and even tamales; when filled it changes its denomination to torta or mollete.
  • Concha - also known as the Mexican turtle bread, is a sweetbread looking like a turtle carapace. There are two flavors: vanilla and chocolate; sometimes these are filled with milk cream and sugar, giving it a tasty flavor.
  • Polvoron - or Mexican shortbread, has the consistence of a pulverized cookie.
  • Cocol - the oldest known recipe of bread in Mexico, was 'invented' by the Aztecs to feed an increasing number of Spanish conquistadors. Its basic ingredients include water, wheat flour and eggs.

Finally, there are several breads used in special occasions, such as Day of the Dead or the Three Kings celebration:

  • Pan de muertos - literally, Bread of the dead, is a sweetened soft bread shaped like a bun, often decorated with bone-like pieces. It is usually baked during the days leading up to the Day of the Dead (November 1 and 2).
  • Rosca de Reyes - A cake pastry baked to celebrate the Epiphany or Three Kings' Day (January 6). Inherited from Spanish conquistadors, it has an oval shape and is decorated with fig fruit, or dried and candied fruits.

When was matzo first used and why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first mention of matzo is in the story of the Old Testament, during the Exodus from Egypt (Exodus 12:39). With Pharoah and his army in pursuit the Israelites didn't have enough time to let their bread rise, so they rushed out with flat, unleavened bread. In addition, it is referred to elsewhere as "poor man's bread," or a reminder of how they ate in Egypt; this implies that it was in fact part of a slave diet as well.

There are many estimates as to the date of the Exodus; the most popular is around 1440 B.C.

Correction: The first mention is in Genesis 19:3. Lot baked matzoh for his guests, the angels, who came to rescue his family from Sodom. Matzoh was a flat bread baked without leavening and can be baked very quickly since it doesn't need time to rise.

Why do Jews only eat matzo on Pesach?

Asked by Wiki User

When the Jews were fleeing from slavery in Egypt, they needed to eat, but didn't have time to wait for the bread to rise so they ate it flat. Matzo reminds Jews of that time in history. (along time ago)

What if your flat bread doesn't rise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It could be a few reasons.

room temp not warm enough, not enough yeast in batch, yeast was old.

Try sitting it closer to stove with a pot of water steaming to raise the humidity in the room. Make sure there are no drafts as this can prevent it from rising. I've also used the oven @ the lowest temp possible with a pan of water in it as well to use like a proofing oven to get it to rise. If this fail start again from scratch with new yeast. Also never store your yeast in cabinet or on shelf, store it in the freezer. And pay attention to expiration dates they hold true with yeast.
