Topic: Matzoh


  
  Matzoh
Matzoh, an unleavened bread, is the "official" food of Passover.
Five grains are forbidden for use during Passover in any form but matzoh: wheat, barley, spelt[?], rye, and oats.
Shmura ("watched") matzoh is made from grain that has been under special supervision from the time it was harvested to ensure that there was no additional moisture.

 THIS MATZOH THAT WE EAT
Matzoh is defined as bread made from any of these grains, which are susceptible to becoming Chometz, but are mixed with water and baked in such a way that guarantees that it does not ferment and become Chometz.
Matzoh flour must therefore be guarded (shimurah) to ensure that it does not come into contact with water and begin to ferment before the actual Matzoh baking process.
The second concern involves the requirement that Matzoh used to fulfill the Mitzvah of eating Matzoh during the Seder be made leshmah - with the intention that it be used for a Mitzvah.

Made from crumbled matzoh fried hard and crisp with eggs, salt, pepper, and occasionally onions, it was crunchy, browned around the edges, and as salty and addictive as potato chips.
There, matzoh brei is always on the menu (year-round and all-day), and it’s always served sweet, with a thick dusting of cinnamon sugar.
Slide the matzoh brie back into the pan and continue to cook until a crust has formed on the bottom and it is cooked through, about 3 to 5 more minutes.

 Mystical Significance of Matzoh
Matzoh must be wached carefully prior to baking to insure that it does not rise.
Matzoh, on the other hand, does not under go any taste change, and the matzoh reflects the true taste of the flour.
The matzoh does not rise, therefore it is not as filling as the bread, even though weight-wise it is the same.

You can buy matzohs made with salt and egg or onion but these are just feeble attempts to make the bible’s “bread of affliction” less afflictive.
Matzoh no more belongs to the family of tortillas, na’ans and pitas than an ascetic does at a buffet.
Best of all is matzoh-brei: soak several matzohs in egg and milk, fry them in plenty of sizzling butter and serve with maple syrup.

 Watch That Matzoh!
Matzoh, also called the Bread of Affliction, is unleavened bread, made of wheat flour and water, eaten as a symbolic reference to the unfinished bread taken along with the Israelites on their flight from slavery in Egypt.
Matzoh is also a booming business, selling millions of boxes each year, and the two big names in Passover foods, Manischewitz and Streit’s, both report an increase in sales in recent years.
All matzoh is prepared under similar rigid conditions, but, unlike most store-bought matzoh, the wheat used in shmura matzoh is guarded throughout its harvesting.

The last time I was at the matzoh factory, the fellow in charge graciously made a gift of one of their small, specially crafted matzoh rolling pins - a baking tool I now treasure.
This matzoh is certainly not in accordance with Passover law although the custom of making it is quite authentic (although the pros use a huge, heavy matzoh docker which looks like a loomers tool, to prick the unbaked sheets).
Some highlights of Passover matzoh is that the wheat grown for it comes from special, well- guarded fields, special flour mills, and the process of making the matzoh dough itself, must not take more than 18 minutes.
