Matzo Brie

Matzo is a cracker-like bread made of plain flour and water. Matzo is the substitute for bread during Passover when eating bread and leavened products is forbidden. It is mentioned in Exodus 12:39 (The Old Testament Bible) in that the Israelites left Egypt in such a hurry that they could not wait for their bread to rise. Ground matzo is used to make matzo balls and other Passover cakes and cookies.
