"Unleavened" refers to bread or other baked goods made without leavening agents, such as yeast or baking powder. This type of bread is typically flat and dense, as it does not rise during baking. Unleavened bread is often used in various cultural and religious practices, including the Jewish holiday of Passover, where it symbolizes the haste of the Israelites' escape from Egypt. Common examples of unleavened bread include matzah, a traditional Jewish flatbread, and tortillas, which are staples in many Latin American cuisines. Unleavened bread can be made from various grains, such as wheat, corn, or rice, and is often enjoyed for its simple flavor and texture.
