The key to perfect Matzah is speed! Work quickly to prevent the dough from rising. Don't be afraid to use more flour while rolling to achieve a very thin dough. A preheated baking sheet is essential for achieving a crispy texture. Adjust salt according to your preference. A coarser salt adds a delightful crunch.

02 Step
Recipe View Lightly dust a clean work surface and rolling pin with flour.
03 Step
Recipe View In a mixing bowl, place the 1 cup of flour. Immediately start a timer for 16 minutes. Gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
04 Step
Recipe View Turn the dough onto the floured surface. Knead vigorously and rapidly until smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
05 Step
Recipe View Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Swiftly roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch round. Continue rolling, increasing the size by about an inch each time, resting for a few seconds before rolling again to approximately 8 inches in diameter. The dough should be paper-thin.
06 Step
Recipe View Using a fork, prick each round thoroughly about 25 times to prevent puffing. Flip and repeat.
07 Step

08 Step
Recipe View Bake on the top rack for 2 minutes. Flip the matzah and bake for another 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp.
09 Step
Recipe View Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Lightly brush each matzah with olive oil and sprinkle generously with kosher salt.
