Happy Passover and Homemade Matzah

exodus1

Shalom Y’all,

Tonight at sundown, we will welcome the Biblical Feast of Passover (Pesach). This is such a rich commemoration of G-d’s faithfulness. For Jew and Christian, Passover is an essential reminder of the sacrifice of the Lamb. Exodus 12

For further reading, I recommend this wonderful site and has excellent homeschooling resources for teaching the L-rd’s holy days as well.   Biblical Holidays

This is all about Passover and how we, as Messiah’s children should celebrate HIM (the Sacrificed Lamb) at this time.

Every year, as we celebrate Messiah’s sacrifice when He was crucified during Passover and have a Passover seder (The “Last Supper”) when taking the L-rd’s Table (Communion) was instituted, we make whole-grain Matzah (unleavened bread). Remember, Jesus (Yeshua) was represented in the unleavened bread, for leaven was a symbol of sin and Yeshua (Jesus) was sinless.

Here is my delicious recipe again and I pray you and your families have a blessed Passover celebration as we glorify the Lamb of G-d, YESHUA, sacrificed for OUR sins.

HAYCRAFT HOMEMADE MATZAH

Yield: Approximately 20 round matzot

2 cups hot water
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons honey – optional
4 1/2 -5 1/2 cups whole wheat flour — more as need to make a sturdy dough
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Mix hot water, oil, salt and honey in a mixing bowl and mix well.  Add flour, 1 cup at a time until a sturdy but pliable dough is achieved.

Knead for 6 minutes or until pliable and soft, but not sticky. Weigh 2 ounces of dough and roll into qa ball. Roll out on an oiled surface into small (6 -8 inch) circles, and flatten with palms. Roll thin for crispy matzah, a little thicker for softer ones.
