Unleavened bread

What is "unleavened bread"?

Unleavened bread is a type of bread that is made without any rising agents, such as yeast, baking powder, or baking soda. It is often associated with religious or cultural traditions, such as Passover in Judaism, where leavened bread is forbidden during the holiday. Unleavened bread can be made from various types of flour, such as wheat, barley, or cornmeal, and can be baked or fried. The lack of rising agents gives the bread a denser texture and a flatter appearance. Unleavened bread has a long history and is a staple in many cultures around the world, where it is often used to make wraps, flatbreads, or crackers. It can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for other dishes, such as sandwiches or dips. While unleavened bread is often associated with religious or cultural traditions, it can also be a healthy choice, as it is often lower in calories and carbohydrates than leavened bread.
