About Matzah meal

Matzah meal is matzah, or unleavened bread, that has been ground into a meal. It is used in dumplings, breading and coatings, meat mixtures, stuffings, and baked dishes where a dry crumb or binding ingredient is wanted.

It is usually pale and dry, with a texture ranging from fine flour-like particles to a somewhat coarser crumb. Its flavour is the plain toasted flavour of baked unleavened bread, while the fineness of the grind affects how smoothly it behaves.

Matzah meal is sold as a dry ground product. Fine meal absorbs liquid differently from coarser meal and may produce a smooth or dense result, whereas a more textured crumb remains perceptible. The type of matzah is unspecified.

Portions & preparation

Use finely ground matzah meal as sold, or specify whether it is hydrated into a dumpling, used as a coating, or baked into a dish. Recipes may add egg, oil, salt, stock, or sweeteners, so the dry flour and finished serving require separate references.

Compare the right form: Match references to dry matzah meal from the identified unleavened bread, or to the specific hydrated, coated, or baked preparation.

Diet considerations

Matzah meal is a processed cereal ingredient derived from unleavened bread. Compatibility changes with egg, dairy, animal fat, stock, sweeteners, or coatings, and with its use in dumplings or baked dishes. As a cereal food, the prepared portion and accompanying ingredients determine the carbohydrate pattern.
