We all know times are challenging at the moment. This means it is especially important that we look after our bodies and minds. This means being kind to ourselves and taking part in activities that we find relaxing and that we can do together at home. There is a strong link between cooking, eating well and our physical and mental well-being. As it is world religion week this week and we are learning about Judaism, why don’t you try and make some Matzo bread that is eaten at Jewish festivals. Here are the instructions:-

Ingredients : -

300 grams plain flour( plus some for dusting).

1/2 tsp salt

50 grams 

185 ml milk

1/2 tbsp oil

Instructions:-

1. Heat the butter and milk gently in the microwave until the butter has melted.

2. Mix the flour, salt, milk and butter in a bowl until it makes a dough.

3. Sprinkle the work surface with the flour and knead the dough until it’s smooth, add more flour if it is too sticky.

4. Wrap it in cling film and rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. 
5. Sprinkle flour on the work surface again and cut into 4 pieces. Roll out into circles about the same thickness of £1 coin. 
6. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, place one flatbread in the pan and cook for 1-1 1/2 minutes on one side then flip over and repeat on the other side. 
7. When they are browned put on a plate and repeat with the other pieces. Enjoy!
