Question
I am Ashkenazi, is there a problem for me to start eating soft matzot from a group with reliable kashrut? Thank you very much
Answer
Hello Rabbi
The custom of Ashkenazim is specifically for thin and hard matzot, as in this form there is less risk that the matzah will not be properly baked. This should not be changed.

Rema Orach Chaim, Siman 460, Sif 4
And one should make the matzot thin, and not thick like regular bread, because thin matzot do not leaven quickly.
