hello99, hello. Fact is, that the Sphardi also baked “rekikim” in bulk well before the chag, and for the duration of the chag, because the soft matzos go stale very quickly. Midaas aztmi, I thought that along with the hekesh to pesach that underlies the Mechaber’s halocho, it is also not incidentally, a hiddur, because if you are eating the soft stuff, the only way to have it fresh is to bake in the late afternoon. Where do you see that in Rama? In DM he bring deos that very large or thick is lacking in lehem oni ( i.e. ahsirah.)
