Althoug olive oil is traditional as it was the kind of oil used in Israel at the time of the first Hanukkah, you can substitute olive oil for any vegetable oil.

You may find matzah under the names of matzo, matzoh, and others. Matzahs are cracker like flat breads made from plain flour and water. The dough does not have yeast and it is not allowed to rise before or during cooking.
