Passover is a Jewish holiday celebrating the release from slavery and Exodus from Egypt. During these eight days, Jews do not eat bread/bread products. This is reflective on when they quickly left Egypt and there wasn't enough time for their bread to rise.
Many dread Passover, because of the 8 days without many of our favorites-bagels, pizza, pasta, sandwiches...just to name a few. But, this Passover, get excited for the endless possibilities with your matzo! (Traditional unleavened bread eaten on Passover) Here are some easy, yet delicious recipes to get you started!
