I suppose it would depend on exactly how you define “unleavened”.

In most cases, leavening is done with yeasts and/or bacteria. Perhaps “leavening” is defined to mean the use of these microorganisms to raise bread, in which case, you could call a bread that achieves a similar degree of fluffiness without the use of these microorganisms, “unleavened”.

Consider popovers, which are “leavened” by steam, rather than by the use of microorganisms.

Not sure what you mean by 'fluffy'? Since the fluff would be from leavening such as yeast or baking powder or soda. Oyster crackers or saltines have some kind of leavening as well, so...….

No, yeast or (leaven) is what makes bread fluffy

Ask her for the recipe then.

FCT may have a point of using milk & eggs to fluff it up


Though I've never seen fluffy communion bread. It's always been more of some store bought paper thin wafers

You can make it rise a little using eggs.
Not sure what the problem is with oyster crackers.

Doesn't crackers & oyster crackers have baking soda? or powder??? Both are considered leavening

I don't think there is a leavening requirement for Christian communion/Lord's supper bread, becasue the observance isn't of Passover but of Christ's sacrifice.

Yes. But Christians aren't using communion to celebrate passover. The focus is on the body of Christ, not the leavening of the bread or even Passover.

I was just looking it up, I guess the eastern orthodox requirement is to use Leavened bread in communion.. thats werid , learn something new every day.

I just figured it would be the same as passover

Leavened Bread vs. Unleavened - Questions & Answers

Question

Why does the Orthodox church use leavened bread and most Protestant fellowships use unleavened bread? I am a member of the Church of Christ (Restoration Movement) and we use unleavened bread because we assume that is the type of bread used at the Last Supper. When was unleavened bread brought introduced to the church?

Answer
Actually, leavened bread has always been used in the Eastern Church. In fact, at one point in time, a great controversy raged over the fact that in the Eastern Church leavened bread was used, while in the Christian West unleavened bread was the norm.

In the Christian East there is no concern for using the exact type of bread used at the Last Supper—known in the Orthodox Church as the “Mystical Supper.” Christ “leavens” our lives, so to speak, and the purpose of the Eucharistic celebration is not to “recreate” or “reproduce” a past event but, rather, to participate in an event that is beyond time and space and which, in fact, continues to happen each time the Eucharist is celebrated in fulfillment of Our Lord’s command.

Manna isn't bread. It's an edible fungus or something that springs up on the surface of the earth.
