Here is a matzah recipe for the Passover / Pesach festival, one of many vegan recipes we offer on our website. For the matzah recipe to produce Kosher for Passover matzah, the entire process - from the time water comes into contact with the grain until the completion of the baking process - must be completed in just under 18 minutes. Furthermore, the grain must be "watched" from the time of harvest until the time the grain comes into contact with the water to make sure that no water came into contact with the grain prior to starting the matzah-making process. This means that either a qualified rabbi or a qualified person appointed by a qualified rabbi must "watch" the grain from the time of harvesting the grain to ensure no water comes into contact with the grain prior to starting the matzah-making process.

The following matzah recipe, if one follows the above instructions as well as ensure that the oven the matzah is baking in is thoroughly cleaned prior to baking the matzah and the utensils, bowls, and cookware used in making the matzah are also thoroughly cleaned prior to making the matzah, would be considered unofficially "Kosher for Passover" matzah. To make it official would mean that a qualified person appointed by a qualified rabbi or a qualified rabbi would have to be present just before and during the entire matzah-making process to ask pre-matzah-making questions to the matzah-maker concerning the matzah ingredients and also to "watch" the matzah-making process from beginning to end to ensure the Kosher for Passover laws are met.
