matza
Unleavened Jewish cracker
Matza is unleavened flatbread eaten during the Jewish holiday of Passover, when leavened bread is forbidden.
The bread commemorates the Israelites' hasty exodus from Egypt, when there was no time for dough to rise.
Also spelled matzah, matzo, or matzoh.
We set out the matza for the Seder.
