Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (about 400°F), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature before you start baking.
-
Prepare Baking Sheets:
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone paper, ensuring they are ready for the rolls.
-
Melt Margarine:
- In a pot, combine water, margarine, and salt. Heat the mixture until the margarine is completely melted. Note that if you’re using kosher for Passover margarine, this step may take a bit longer.
-
Boil Mixture:
- Once the margarine is melted, bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat and quickly add all the matzo meal at once, stirring vigorously to combine.
-
Cook and Cool:
- Return the pot to low heat and cook the mixture for about 1 minute, ensuring it thickens slightly. Then, remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool for approximately 5 minutes.
-
Add Eggs:
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue beating until the mixture is completely smooth.
-
Form Dough Balls:
- Using a spoon or your hands, drop walnut-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Ensure to leave some space between each roll for expansion during baking.
-
Bake:
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for 35-40 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown.
-
Check for Doneness:
- To ensure the rolls are fully baked, tap the bottom of one roll – it should sound hollow when done.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These Passover rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, providing a delightful bread-like experience during the holiday.
These Passover rolls are not only easy to make but also incredibly satisfying, providing a delicious alternative to traditional bread during the holiday festivities.
