unleavened
Unleavened bread — bread or cakes made without the addition of yeast or other leavening agents; prepared from meal (flour) and water, and baked quickly before fermentation. Used in ritual, cultic, and everyday settings, particularly significant during the festival of unleavened bread (חַג הַמַּצּוֹת) coinciding with Passover as prescribed in Israelite law. Extended use can denote the festival itself or, by metonymy, a period when only such bread is consumed.
