Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Jewish
Serves: 12 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup matzo meal
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the matzo meal and sugar, whisking them together until well incorporated.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack the eggs into it. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Using a wooden spoon or electric mixer, blend the ingredients thoroughly until a smooth, consistent batter forms.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Shape the batter into a long, rectangular log approximately 12 inches long and 3 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let the kamish bread cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces while still warm.
- Transfer the slices to a wire rack to cool completely. The kamish bread will become slightly crisp as it cools.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use fresh ingredients, especially your eggs and chocolate chips, to ensure maximum flavor.
- Make sure to mix your batter thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent texture.
- When shaping your log, use wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers.
- Watch the baking time carefully – golden brown edges are your key indicator of doneness.
- Let the kamish bread cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, crisp cuts.
- For extra richness, consider using dark chocolate chips for a more intense flavor.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain the bread's crisp texture for up to 5 days.
- If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of water to achieve the right consistency.
