Matzoh And/or Crackers

I found a recipe for Matzoh on this forum somewhere, but can't find it again, so can't give credit where it's due.

I made the recipe today and it turned out very well. A nice crisp flatbread.

Now, my little brain started working on this - hmmm a crisp "cracker". I tried spreading some olive oil on the surface of a piece and salted it. Ymmm - just like a saltine. I dipped it in some fake cheese sauce (made from cashews and yeast flakes) and it was great!

I'm going to experiment with this some by adding maybe some ground flaxmeal to make it taste more like a wheat cracker. Maybe try a little baking powder to see if it will "fluff up" a little.

Recipe for eggless Gluten-Free Matzoh

3/4 cup potato starch

1/4 cup almond meal

pinch salt

2 T olive oil

3T + 1t water [i ended up using almost 1/3 cup to get it to stick together well]

Mix all ingredients in bowl -texture should be like playdough - if too dry add small amount of extra water. Knead into ball and divide into 4 pieces.

Take each piece and roll between 2 sheets of parchment paper - roll as thinly as possible - be patient - dough will tear easily.

Prick dough all over with fork. Score with knife if you want to break into squares after baking. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-13 minutes, or until lightly browned. Makes about four 8-inch round matzot.

(I ended up baking it for about 15 minutes, but mine probably weren't as thin as they should have been since I don't have a rolling pin anymore and used a glass jar.)

Thank you for sharing the results of your experiment. I came across this too and was wondering about it.

That looks good!

I'm thinking, I could use a lighter oil, and sprinkle the tops with a little cinnamon and sugar--kind of like the old "Cinnamon Crisp" crackers.

Thanks for the link - I'm going to try that one, too. It includes flaxmeal.

Yes, I REALLY MISS CRACKERS, too. I've been eating potato chips for something crunchy, but I'd rather have a cracker. These recipes have real possibilities - I like the idea of the sesame seeds, too.

Glutino makes a couple of really good crackers. One is the ritz style (kinda tastes like a cross between a ritz and a saltine. Then they also have one that is retangular that tastes similar to a club cracker but not quite as sweet.

I've heard they're good. Unfortunately, they all have something in them that I can't have, like corn or soy. Mary's Gone Crackers and plain rice crackers are about it for me - and they're rather expensive to just snack on.

Sorry to hear that. That really sucks. If I see any crackers that free of corn and soy I'll let ya know.

ArtGirl - I'm going to follow the recipe but roll it out and cut into squares instead (ya know, so it's the right size for a little slice of cheese!!!).

I wont' get to try them until Monday b/c we have company coming this weekend....but if I get to them before you, I'll let you know how they turn out! :D

kbabe - scoring them works perfect. I did this for the last batch and, although they stayed together while the large piece baked, it broke easily where it was scored, making lots of small "crackers"

Today I made some with flaxmeal and added more salt and a little Stevia to sweeten (I also added 1-tsp baking powder but I'm not sure this made any difference). Tasted real good, though. I didn't roll them but divided the dough into 2" balls and flatened them with my fingers. Didn't use the parchment paper and on they didn't stick. (I baked some on a non-stick pan, and some on a foil-lined pan).

I also saw the recipe for Matzoh and I am going to try it. Does anyone know of a substitute for the almond meal? My daugher is also allergic to peanuts/nuts.

Variation for crackers.

I made a change to the recipe today to add oat flour - made for a less dense cracker - very nearly crumbly, but not quite.

1/2 cup potato starch

1/4 cup oat flour (I put gluten-free rolled oats in the blender to make the flour)

1/4 cup almond meal

2 Tbs flax meal (I put flax seends in the blender to make the meal)

1/8 tsp salt

2 T olive oil

3 T+1stp water

1/16 tsp Stevia

The dough was much more pliable than wihtout the oat, and I was able to get a thinner cake.

I rolled 2-Tbs of the dough into a ball, flattened on my palm, then pressed it into a thin 4-1/2" circle on a non-stick pan. Baked at 400 F for 10 minutes.

- - -

I've been making these flat-breads every few days - I just love the crunch. I even put catsup on one (not the oats version) and some hot hamburger/garlic powder/oregano flakes and had a quick mini-pizza.

How well do these "crackers" keep? Do they get stale fast? I'd like to make and store a bunch.

I have no idea how long they will stay fresh because they don't stay around longer than a week. I imagine they would freeze well - I freeze a similar cookie with no problems.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
