Passover Flatbread

Passover is nearly here! Do you know what you’ll be cooking during the holiday? Cooking for Passover comes with its own unique set of challenges. Chances are, your family has a few Passover favorites but once in a while, it’s nice to try something different. With all due respect for our ancestors who fled from slavery and did not have time to proof their bread, it is nice to have an alternative for matzo.

This Passover Flatbread Recipe is a staple at our home. It is like Laffa bread with no leavening. Soft and chewy, this flatbread is going to be a family Passover favorite!
