How To Make Unleavened Bread For Passover

Kids and adults both love this recipe! The bread tastes absolutely delicious as-is, but you can also serve it with a side of sofrito. Or you can add some cinnamon to the recipe and serve with some honey for a special desert (like a desert bread).

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey (raw honey is best; cactus honey powder works too)
  • 2 teaspoons of himalayan salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups spring water
  • 6 to 6 1/2 cups of white flour (note: can be gluten free flour if preferred)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, honey, salt, eggs and water. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Stir in about 3 to 4 cups of flour, then gradually continue adding more flour, a little at a time, until it begins to form dough and is of a consistency that you can knead it (manipulate it with your hands)
  4. Knead the mixture until it becomes a very stiff
  5. Divide the dough into four large pieces
  6. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin (or something similar) to roll each piece into a large rectangle. Note: Your rectangle does not need to be perfect! You can make each piece as thick or thin as you’d like. I enjoy mine semi-thick. Also, if you are storing your bread loaves in a plastic container when done, shape the bread so that it will fit in your container
  7. Use a fork to lightly prick each piece all over, leaving holes where the dough can “breath” while cooking.
  8. Place each piece onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Cleanup is easier if you line the baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray cooking oil on it.
  9. Lightly drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on top of the bread, then lightly sprinkle some salt on top of the bread
  10. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 10-20 minutes depending on the thickness of your bread. It should be lightly brown on top.
  11. Remove unleavened bread from the baking sheet and place on a wire rack to cool.
  12. If desired, cut into smaller pieces. You can do this using a pizza cutter to make this easy or use kitchen shears. Enjoy!

Yields four loaves per batch.
