unleavened
Lacking rising agent
Unleavened describes bread or dough made without a rising agent such as yeast or baking powder.
The result is flat and dense rather than airy and risen.
Unleavened bread holds religious significance in several traditions: matzo in Jewish Passover observance and communion wafers in Christian practice.
We made unleavened flatbread on the campfire.
