Ingredients
  

Optional Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add the flour and salt and whisk to blend.
  • Preheat the oven to 425º F. If you own a pizza stone, heat it in the oven as it preheats.
  • Add the water and olive oil and mix well.
  • Put a piece of parchment paper on the counter and dust it with gluten free flour blend.
  • Put the dough on the parchment paper. Sprinkle the dough with a little flour and roll the dough to a very thin rectangle.
  • You can cut the edges to make your matzo into a square, rectangle, or leave as rolled.
  • Optional: If you don't want your matzo to be too crunchy, brush the matzo with olive oil.
  • Use a fork to score the dough. I did mine in rows to mimic the look of store-bought matzo.
  • Sprinkle coarse salt, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or everything bagel on top. Slightly press the toppings in.
  • Lift the parchment paper up and quickly put it onto the hot pizza stone. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the matzo is crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and repeat with the next piece.

Notes

  1. You can use any gluten free flour blend for this gluten free matzo recipe. If your flour blend doesn't contain xanthan gum, you will need to add 1 teaspoon and whisk that into the dry ingredients.
  2. Technically, this matzo will keep up to 4 days. The downside is the matzo loses its crispness stored in a container. You can try to re-crisp it in the oven at 225º F for 10 minutes.
  3. To make gluten free matzo crackers, use a pizza wheel to cut each rolled matzo dough into squares or rectangle crackers. Bake as directed above.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
