matzo
Passover flatbread staple
Matzo is unleavened flatbread eaten during Passover, when Jewish dietary law prohibits leavened bread.
Made from flour and water mixed and baked before fermentation can begin, it commemorates the Israelites' hurried exodus from Egypt.
Outside Passover, matzo appears in dishes like matzo ball soup.
Also spelled matzah or matzoh.
