Jewish people celebrating Passover steer clear of bread for the duration of the festival to commemorate the fact that the Jews fleeing Egypt could not wait for their bread to rise. Instead, moderns observers eat unleavened bread, or 'matzah' as it is known – a cracker-like flatbread which is made from flour and water and is baked just long enough to prevent it from rising.
