This month brings us to the biblical festival of Passover + Unleavened Bread. As we prepare for this holiday, we clean all the leaven, which symbolically represents sin, out of our houses. What is leaven? Read all about it here.
The Biblical prohibition against leaven during Passover is clear: NO leaven. But what is leaven? And how do we avoid it in cooking and baking? Find the answers to all your questions about preparing your kitchen for Passover, plus a few recipes here.

Thanks for the no-leaven recipes. 😋
My only question is around including baking powder into the "leaven" category.
It looks like your list is based on items which "puff your baked goods", but is that what the removal of yeast is about?
I like baking so use yeast and baking powder often. I find that it is very important to use the right amount of the latter or the dough doesn't rise properly when heat is applied as it is a chemical reaction creating the carbondioxide in the dough that puffs it up.
On the other hand, I can use too little yeast and encourage the lump to rise given that there is enough food, time and heat for the yeast to grow and multiply.
Baking powder is a chemical reaction so a little can't "leaven" the whole lump. On the otherhand, yeast is alive and will leaven the entire lump.
