These rolls are very easy to make and it is a good substitute for "bread" during Passover. We didn't have any problems like other reviewers with the middle of the rolls being hollow or chewy. Changes we made: used whole-wheat matza meal, dried thyme, omitted chives, and added garlic/herb seasoning. We cooked ours for 50 minutes and the recipe made 14 rolls. The outside of the rolls were really crispy and crunchy! We will definitely be making these rolls again next Passover.

To make ahead, cool rolls completely and freeze for up to one month. Use leftover matzo meal as a binder for meatballs or meat loaf, or to bread chicken or fish for pan-frying.
