Soft Sephardic Matzah Los Angeles

[@Michael_Lederman]

I did not know of this and want to thank you for showing it to me

[@riograndelily8344]

I make this every year for my family. I use a cast iron pan.

[@LeahElisheva]

Absolutely agree! Wonderful information and fresh matzoh is wonderful - I have never made it myself. I want to try to make it next Pesach. Well. I may just try and make it before so I have experience when Pesach comes 😂

[@GavrielAbrahams]

That's basically how I make it. 3C flour, 1C water, roll VERY thin and cook on saj. I make them about 10-12 in

[@purplelucrezia]

Really interesting, thanks! Keen to try this at home.

[@Levidelopes]

Excellent. It's just a taste different from the soft maśa my grandparents though me to make (Spanish and Portuguese/Western Sefaraddim). Ours are not too dark and tend to be round mostly. Mo'adim leSimHá

Soft matza is so much more connected to the history behind Passover-this is almost certainly what the Jews in Egypt would have historically made (I doubt they would have had factories churning out crackers en masse) and the process of making it yourself gives you a much more physical connection (literally) to the historical roots of the holiday.

Interesting. I’m Christian and I’ve been making soft matzah for 14 years. I do it for our remembrance of the Lord’s Supper. I make this and I buy the Kedem grape juice.

Much prefer Sefardi matza!Pessach Samaech everyone :)

[@carlosandalucia4660]

be natural! I like that. I can trust that this would be the type of bread made by the first Jews.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Where do you find the flour for this?

[@tzviholt7536]

There’s a flour company called Janie’s Mill out of Illinois. The flour they sell is “kosher” for making matzah. They don’t use water at all in processing the wheat to flour. It’s shmura and yoshon all year round.

[@morehn]

As a Reform Jew, why would it have to be kosher for Passover?

[@tzviholt7536]

One’s religious observance has nothing to do with the obligation to eat kosher food.

[@morehn]

@@tzviholt7536 isn't the religion based on the Torah?

[@tzviholt7536]

@@morehn religion really isn’t the right word. Jews are a nation of people with a set of laws. Those laws are based in the Torah, expounded upon by the Rabbis of the Mishnah and Gemara, codified by the Mishnah Torah, and made binding upon the Jewish People by the later rulings of the Shulhan Arukh. Many of those laws have nothing to do with geographic location. Some do. It’s not about religion, at least as how it’s taught in the West. It’s culture and nationhood. I hope this helps clarify my earlier statement. Shalom.
