Matzah

Matzah, matzo, or maẓẓah (Hebrew: מַצָּה, romanized: maṣṣā, pl.: matzot or Ashk. matzos) is an unleavened flatbread that is part of Jewish cuisine. It is a key part of the Passover holiday, during which chametz (leavened products) are forbidden. Chametz also includes five grains that, per Jewish law, are self-leavening.
