Matzah
Matzah is an unleavened flatbread made with all purpose flour, kosher salt, olive oil and water. The Thermomix TM7 weighs each ingredient directly into the mixing bowl and brings the simple dough together in seconds. Crisp, golden and ready in under twenty minutes, this traditional bread suits Passover tables and everyday snacking, with a delightfully crunchy texture and mild, savoury flavour thanks to the olive oil and salt.
About this recipe
Matzah with the Thermomix TM7 is one of the simplest bread recipes you can make with an all-in-one kitchen machine, yet the result is wonderfully crisp and golden. Traditional matzah relies on just flour, kosher salt, olive oil and water, and the TM7 takes the guesswork out of it: the integrated scale weighs the flour directly into the mixing bowl, and the dough comes together evenly in seconds. Because matzah must remain unleavened, speed matters, and the machine's rapid mixing ensures the dough is rolled and in the oven before any rising can begin. This makes it a brilliant recipe for Passover, but also a fantastic quick snack or side for weeknight dinners, served with hummus, soup or soft cheese. Anyone searching for easy Thermomix TM7 bread recipes will love how little effort and how few ingredients this preparation requires, with consistently crunchy results every single time.
Preparation tips
- Tip 1: Work quickly once the water meets the flour, because matzah must stay unleavened. Weigh the flour, kosher salt and olive oil into the TM7 mixing bowl first, then add the water last so you can roll and bake the discs immediately.
- Tip 2: Roll the matzah dough very thin, roughly the thickness of a coin, and prick the discs all over with a fork. This prevents puffing in the oven and gives the authentic flat, crackly matzah texture with even browning.
- Tip 3: Store the baked matzah in an airtight tin once completely cooled, where it keeps its crunch for several days. A light mist of non stick cooking spray on the baking tray helps release the discs and promotes an evenly golden underside.
Recipe variations
- Variation 1: For a wholegrain version, replace half of the all purpose flour with finely ground wholemeal or spelt flour. The TM7 grinds whole grains to a fine powder first, giving the matzah a nuttier flavour while keeping the dough easy to roll and still crisp after baking.
- Variation 2: For a festive herbed matzah, sprinkle the rolled discs with za'atar, sesame seeds or flaky salt before baking. The olive oil in the dough helps the toppings adhere, creating a fragrant cracker that is ideal for sharing during holidays or with dips at a party.
