Unleavened

  

For something to be "unleavened" means that it's been made without yeast. Since yeast is what makes bread rise and take on its airy texture, unleavened bread is relatively flat, dense and hard. The idea that unleavened bread is holy appears in both the Old and New Testaments and is still part of both Jewish and Christian traditions.

In the Word, bread represents the desire for what is good -- which gives us spiritual energy, just as bread gives us natural energy. Yeast, meanwhile, represents falsity -- so that bread made without yeast is a pure desire for good, free of falsity. This also makes sense because air represents our capacity to understand what's true -- which is the same capacity we use to embrace ideas that are false. Yeast causes bread to rise by producing gases as it ferments, thus adding "bad" air to the bread.
