Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (kosher for Passover)
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water and olive oil.

Step 4

Stir the ingredients together with a spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead it for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic. Do not over-knead as the dough does not contain leavening agents.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a small ball.

Step 7

Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin round or oval shape, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Aim for a uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Place the flattened dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the bread is firm.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve. The bread can be eaten plain or used as a base for various Passover dishes.
