Origin of the recipe

Matzah, or unleavened bread, is the traditional bread of religious Jews. It is a thin, crispy, rectangular or round biscuit made of unleavened dough. During Passover, which commemorates the Jewish exodus from Egypt described in the Bible, Jews are permitted to eat only this type of bread, unleavened. Matzah is crumbled into soup, eaten with other dishes, or spread on various spreads.
