It will always be brittle.
But a thick piece of bread that never had a chance to rise is disgusting.
It will turn very, very hard very quickly.

Today we're going to talk about Shmura Matzah.
Be'ez Hashem, tomorrow we'll start talking about Chol Moed, so that we can be all ready for Chol Moed.
Okay, we've got to take care of that problem.
The Torah, in addition to the obligation of the Torah to eat Matzah on Pesach, the Torah also requires that we be Shomer, the Matzah.
the implication of the idea of being Shomer is that we have to make sure not only that not ferment and turn into chametz, that's just the idea of matzah, but that there needs to be some sort of shmira l'shma, that we need to do some sort of shmira on the matzah.
So, you know, a lot of times people will ask, do you only eat shmura over Pesach, or do you eat any matzah that says OUP?
I don't think they even make such a thing.
But Hand Matzahs that maybe aren't Shmura, theoretically, you could make such a thing.
What's the idea of eating only Shmura Matzah over Pesach?
So the Torah is very clear that we have to watch the matzos.
