O Que É Matzoh?
Matzoh, also spelled matzah or matzo, is a traditional unleavened flatbread made from flour and water, traditionally eaten by Jews during the holiday of Passover. Its preparation is strictly controlled to ensure it does not rise, symbolizing the hasty departure of the Israelites from Egypt. It serves both as a symbolic food and a versatile culinary ingredient.
"While traditionally associated with Passover, matzoh can be creatively repurposed year-round as a gluten-light cracker, breadcrumb substitute, or even a base for savory tarts."
