KDH Matzah Baking

KDH turned their room into a matzah bakery last Thursday. We lined up the tables and the children covered them with paper.

Shaya held up a stalk of wheat to show everyone. The children remembered that it is one of the Seven Species of Israel. The kernels need to be taken out and then are ground into flour.

Flour and water is mixed together to make the dough.

Each child had their own dough to roll out. They shared the special roller used to poke the holes.

Into a very hot oven went the rolled out dough and then we waited.

After the matzot baked and cooled off, we packed them up to be taken home.

The next day we watched a video of a matzah factory. Who works faster? The bakers at the factory or us!!
