**Introduction:**

During Passover, observant Jews refrain from eating chametz, or leavened bread products. Matzo, a flat, unleavened bread, is a staple food during this time. However, for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, traditional matzo may not be an option. This article offers a collection of recipes for delicious and satisfying gluten-free matzo crackers that are perfect for Passover or anytime. These recipes are not gebrokts, meaning they do not contain any broken pieces of matzo, making them suitable for those who observe the stricter customs of Passover. From classic matzo crackers to flavorful herb and garlic crackers, these recipes cater to various taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a crispy snack or a base for your favorite toppings, these gluten-free matzo crackers will surely delight your taste buds.

MOCK MATZO / GLUTEN-FREE NON-GEBROKTS MATZAH CRACKERS



Mock Matzo / Gluten-Free Non-Gebrokts Matzah Crackers image

This recipe is for a matzo substitute for gluten-free folks. Though they aren't "kosher matzo" (matzah shmura) for Passover due to not containing any of the 5 grains that matzo are supposed to be made of, they are made of Kosher for Pesach ingredients so they can be used for other purposes, such as enjoying charoset and maror sandwiches or snacking on during the week of Passover. Don't expect them to taste or have the texture of regular matzo - They don't. But they are still pleasant tasting (no bread of oppression here!) and crispy.

Time 20m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup almond meal
1 tablespoon flax seed meal
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening or 2 tablespoons solid coconut oil
3 tablespoons warm water
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F
  • Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Mix shortening or coconut oil into the dry ingredients using your hands. Add water just a little bit at a time until the dough makes a ball and isn't too sticky. Knead well, making sure there are no big chunks of shortening. If the dough is sticky, add additional potato starch.
  • Take walnut size pieces and press with your fingers onto the foil-covered baking sheet until flat and thin. Smooth out edges, if desired, and use a fork to prick rows of holes.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, watching carefully to make sure they don't get overdone. You should underbake them slightly, rather than overbaking. Remove from oven as soon as the edges become slightly brown - The top should still be white.

Time 12m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 matzos
4 eggs
salt
3 tablespoons Smart Balance light butter spread (butter is traditional)

Steps:

  • Break the matzos in half, then half again, and soak them in hot water for a couple of minutes.
  • Remove them and with your hands, squeeze out as much water as you can (kids love to do this!).
  • Beat the eggs lightly with salt in a mixing bowl, and add the matzo and mix.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and when it starts to turn brown, add the mixture.
  • Either leave the mixture to set on the bottom and then turn as you would a pancake (that's how I have it); or, stir with a wooden spoon as you would for scrambled eggs.
  • The matzo brei will be ready in about 5 minutes, depending on how well done you like your eggs (I like it more done and I need about 7-8minutes).
  • Serve immediately with jam and/or sour cream.

GLUTEN-FREE POTATO KNEIDLACH / NON-GEBROKTS SOUP DUMPLINGS



Gluten-Free Potato Kneidlach / Non-Gebrokts Soup Dumplings image

Potato kneidlach are light, fluffy potato dumplings for Passover that are a wonderful gluten-free substitute for matzo balls. I have loved these ever since I first made them for a gluten-free friend in 2005. I based this recipe off of one from The Passover Gourmet by Nira Rousso. My dad e-mailed me Rousso's recipe for potato dumplings a few years ago and I used that as the basis for these. Leftover batter can also be fried into chewy potato pancakes, as well.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup potato starch, plus
1 tablespoon potato starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes into large chunks and boil in water until soft. Drain and allow to cool. Once cool, mash with oil, eggs, salt, pepper and dill.
  • Stir in potato starch until thoroughly combined, and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.
  • Bring soup or a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Use your hands to gently form rough ball shapes from one tablespoon of batter at a time, and submerge dumplings in the soup or water - If you prefer, you may use a soup spoon or ice cream scoop to move free-form spoonfuls of batter into the pot. Boil for approximately 5-6 minutes - The dumplings will float up to the surface quickly but will need several additional minutes to cook all the way through.
  • Serve in soup, or as a side dish with butter or margarine and fried onions.

Time 28m

Yield 25 approximately a 14x14 inch square, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup whole almond, ground into flour (or use 3/4 cup almond flour)
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
scant 1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tablespoons sesame seeds or 2 tablespoons flax seeds
1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment. In a high-speed blender or processor, grind almonds into a flour. Do not over process or almonds will release oils. Sift flour before using to remove larger pieces. OR you can use store-bought almond flour.
  • 2. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix well with spoon. Knead dough with hands until it comes together. Shape into a ball.
  • 3. Place ball of dough on parchment paper or a non-stick mat. Roll out dough until it's about 1/8 inch thick, or as thin as you can get it without ripping. With a pastry wheel or pizza slicer, slice into crackers.
  • 4. Bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes until slightly golden in colour. 18 minutes is a softer cracker vs 20 minutes crispier.
  • 5. Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes Store in air-tight container once fully cool.
  • *Note: Other flours might work in substitution for brown rice flour and almond flour, although keep in mind the flavour will change.
  • *Note: tweak the spices to your liking!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your matzo crackers. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality flour, water, and salt.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the matzo crackers tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Roll the dough out thinly: The thinner you roll out the dough, the crispier the matzo crackers will be.
  • Bake the matzo crackers at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy texture.
  • Let the matzo crackers cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Making your own gluten-free, non-gebrokts matzo crackers is a great way to enjoy this traditional Passover food without sacrificing taste or texture. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create delicious, crispy matzo crackers that the whole family will love.
