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.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
