Unleavened bread
Unleavened or unleavened bread is a type of bread without yeast; the recipe calls for the union of flour based on whole grains and water, but without the addition of yeast, therefore in the absence of microbial fermentation.
Originally, unleavened bread was cooked on the surface of "hot stones"; later, despite the advent of new culinary techniques and the discovery of other ingredients, for religious, cultural or food preservation reasons (greater than that of leavened bread), many peoples continued to produce unleavened bread with its original recipe giving up the convenience of the ovens, the softness of the crumb and the taste of the oil.
NB . Not everyone knows that unleavened bread, besides being a typical bread of Judaism, is also a traditional food of the Christian religion (Eucharist), once widely spread also on our peninsula
