Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and if possible, use the convection setting of your oven.
Step 2
Make the dough: Place the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and sugar and mix well. With the back of a spoon, make a large well in the center of the flour and pour the water into the well. Using a fork or your fingers mix the flour and water until combined into a dough. Knead the dough for about 1 minute until it is smooth with some shaggy ends. Let the dough rest uncovered for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Shape the dough: Divide the dough into 5 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Starting with one piece of dough, place it onto a large piece of parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a very thin circle that is 1 millimeter thick. Transfer the rolled out dough to a parchment lined baking tray and repeat the rolling and shaping of the remaining dough balls. Once all the rolled out matzos are on the baking sheet, use a fork to poke each matzo sheet to create several vertically oriented indentations.
Step 4
Transfer into the oven and bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 5
Let the matzos cool for about 5 minutes, transfer to a serving plate and serve at room temperature.
