Matzah

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Move an oven rack to the top position. Preheat a heavy baking sheet in the oven.

2. 2

   Lightly dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with 1 teaspoon flour, or as needed.

3. 3

   Place 1 cup flour in a mixing bowl; set a timer for 16 minutes (18 minutes maximum). Start the timer; add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the flour and stir with a fork until the dough forms a rough ball.

4. 4

   Transfer the dough to the prepared work surface; knead rapidly and firmly until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces; cut each piece in half to make 8 pieces. Quickly roll each piece into a ball. Starting from the center, roll out each piece into a 5-inch round, dusting with flour as needed. Continue to roll each piece out gradually to about 8 inches in diameter, increasing the size by about 1 inch at a time and letting the dough rest for a few seconds between rolls until it reaches the final size. The dough rounds should be very thin.

6. 6

   Use a fork to quickly pierce each dough round about 25 times all over to prevent rising. Flip the dough over and pierce each piece again 25 times.

7. 7

   When at least 5 minutes remain on the timer, remove the hot baking sheet from the preheated oven and place the dough rounds onto it.

8. 8

   Bake on the top rack in the preheated oven for 2 minutes; flip the matzah and bake until lightly browned and crisp, about 2 more minutes.

9. 9

   Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Lightly brush each matzah with olive oil. Season generously with salt.
