ingredients

Passover Roll Dough
1 cup water
4 ounces margarine (100 grams or 1/2 a cup)
1 pinch salt
1 ¹⁄₂ cups fine matzo meal
5 large eggs
Pizza Ingredients
2 cups tomato sauce
¹⁄₂ lb grated yellow cheese
oregano, to taste

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Heat the water, margarine and salt in a pot until the margarine is melted.
If you are using kosher for Passover margarine this may take some time.
Bring this mixture to a boil, remove from the flame and tip all the matzoh meal into the pot at once, stirring furiously.
Return to low heat and cook for 1 minute.
Keep stirring.
The dough should come away from the sides of the pot and form a rough ball.
Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
Beat in 1 egg.
When the dough is smooth and the egg has been fully incorporated into it, beat in another.
Keep doing this until all 5 eggs have been added and the mixture is completely smooth.
You will get a good workout if you do this by hand with a wooden spoon.
Spread the dough on the baking sheet covered in parchment paper in pizza crust formation.
You can make one large of several smaller crusts.
I would go with the smaller crusts, as the dough bakes into a delicate"bread" and one large crust may not be supportive enough.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crusts can hold their shape.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza crusts.
Sprinkle the cheese over the tomato sauce.
Sprinkle oregano over the top.
If you want to add any toppings, this is the time and place.
One of my kids likes olives on her pizza, another likes chopped tomatoes.
Bake in the oven for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.

I used olive oil instead of margarine. I really liked the pizza. It was very good. Thank you for the recipe.

I would have liked the bottom of the crust to be crisper and for the crust itself to have been less eggy. But as long as you put alot of stuff on it, overall, it really wasn't that bad. For Passover, it is a good substitute though in place of the real thing. I would make it again and will probably experiment with it.

Thank you for this recipe! It never occurred to me to use the roll recipe. In the past I simply plopped the topping ingredients onto 1/2 boards of matzoh, then baked. This sounds much more appetizing?

Love the olive oil idea, although 2 eggs plus olive oil gives you a better over all flavor and texture! Also, after the first bake, immediately add a very light sprinkle of cheese so that it melts as crust cools. This will give your sauce, cheese & toppings something to adhere to: this eliminates the dreaded "cheese slippage" that often occurs with homemade pizza!

Come and visit me on my blog:  <a href=http://www.miriyummy.wordpress.com>www.miriyummy.wordpress.com</a>   October 2011: It's been 10 years since I came into Zaar one day at the recommendation of someone on another website. If you ask my husband (or my coworkers), I haven't logged out since! <a href=http://www.TickerFactory.com/> <img src=http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;15;0/st/20011021/e/I Joined Zaar%21/dt/6/k/f656/event.png border=0 alt= /></a> So what's happened in the ten years since I became addicted to Zaar? Well, I've been happily married, happily divorced, and happily married once again. (Wanna see wedding pictures? Click <a href=http://community.webshots.com/user/mirjamdorn>here</a>.) <a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=chuppah2.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/chuppah2.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> Originally from the Bronx, I've been living in Israel since 1983. I'm married to a brilliant man with the most yummy British accent (this is the part where he rolls his eyes and says, Yeah, yeah, yeah). Let's call him Sushiman, even though he hates that name. <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/52282>Chia</a> gave him that nickname when I was trying to create a dinner to show off my culinary talents. I posted here on Zaar with questions about the menu and since sushi was the main focus of the meal, he became Sushiman. That dinner was just the first of what I hope will become a lifetime of meals together. This is a picture of us taken in September 2005 in Kew Gardens in London. It my favorite picture of the two of us. <a href=http://photobucket.com/ target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/Kew.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /></a> This comes in as a close second, taken March 2009: <a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=Wedding6.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/Wedding6.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> I have 4 of the most gorgeous daughters in the known universe (tfu, tfu, tfu, that's me spitting three times to ward off the Evil Eye). Sushiman has 4 kids of his own, so together that makes us a family of ten, together with my dog and my step-dog (sadly, since I first wrote this my step-dog, Honey, crossed the Rainbow Bridge). We're the Brady Bunch on speed. Not all eight live with us, but everyone is in and out all of the time, so we're thinking about replacing our front door with one of those revolving thingies.

Come on in, and let the Jewish Mothers of Zaar feed you senseless! I hope you enjoy my recipes. I have only posted recipes of food that I am willing to eat myself. Therefore, you won't find anything unkosher in my recipes. You won't find any stinky bleu cheese or goat's cheese either. You will find a lot of comfort food, I believe that comfort food is very important. Gay and Troy are always thanking us for making Recipezaar such a great place. I firmly believe that it's Gay and Troy themselves that deserve a multitude of thanks, from us! And I hope I live up to their expectations!
