I originally baked these beautiful Passover Popovers as a part of a monthly bread baking challenge.  The theme of the month was Jewish breads.  My experience with Jewish bread is that I have eaten Jewish Rye which is delicious and found in many wonderful delis.  While I’ve never baked Jewish rye, I was thinking that this might be a popular recipe. I always push myself to try recipes that I haven’t made before.

This was a very simple recipe to make, but it was unlike any bread recipe I have ever made. This recipe’s title states that they were popovers, but the instructions have you fill muffin tins, so I used both pans. They both came out beautifully, so use what you have available to you.Passover popovers are moist and have a soft crumb.

    • Thank you Dini! It was sure an experience for me. I've never used Matzah before and it was so easy not having to wait for bread to raise. Let me know if you do and what you think. They were much lighter than what I expected because the dough was so thick.

  4. I was totally intrigued when I saw you were making Passover popovers because I couldn't imagine what they'd be like. But let's hear it for good old matzo meal; it sure is versatile. These actually look GOOD and you can't say that about too many Passover workarounds. Can't wait to give them a try. Thanks for sharing!

    • Thank you Robin! It was the first time that I have used Matzo and the batter was soooo thick that I could even imagine that these popovers would be as light and soft as they were. I loved the experience.

  6. These look really yummy, Julie! I've never made popovers before. I have always heard they are tricky. Yours sure came out beautiful!

    • These were not hard at all, and quite frankly, I was amazed that they came out as light as they did since the batter was like mud! It's the first time I'd ever tried Matzah. It was a great experience.

  7. Thank you, Julie! Your popovers are lovely looking. Special bonus: Your recipe looks absolutely do-able! I will be seeking out matzah cake meal on my next trip to the market =) P.s. Love your philosophy of doing at least one thing a day that brings you joy.

    • Thank you! This recipe is very easy! The matzah may also be listed as just Matzah meal. Mine was but I googled it and it was o.k. I love to think of something that I am looking forward to everyday before my feet hit the floor. Sometimes it's just not having a ton to do! Thanks again for stopping by!

  15. YUM! I love popovers! I want these so bad! Do you have to have the special popover pan to bake these?

  16. I am loving your bread baking series Julie. So much to learn and discover along the way. These popups are so cute and an easy recipe to follow. I have tasted the Jewish breads and they are really different from te default breads in a good way! Will keep an eye to try these somewhere!❤️

    • Thank you! I've never had matzah anything but these are good! I've always been hesitant on a lot of jewish dishes and still haven't dove in very far, but like you, the rye bread is delicious!

  21. One of my favorite treats ever! They never end up looking as poofy as yours though so I'm going to try your recipe and see how it goes! Happy FF!
