Because they didn't have the time to let it rise and they didn't have any yeast either.

A Different Answer;

Jews did (and do) use yeast in bread. Challah is just one example of a Jewish yeast bread.

During the Passover, yeast is not used in bread in commemoration of the Passover. The story is found in the Book of Exodus Chapter 12. Because the Hebrews were preparing to flee from Egypt in haste, baking bread without leavening (yeast, sour dough, or sponge) was symbolic of their quick escape.

Further instructions were given in the Scripture that became ceremonies surrounding the Passover. These included removing all yeast (leavening) from the home in an extensive housecleaning. Yeast became a symbol representing sin that must be thoroughly cleansed from God's people. The symbol persists to the present time in the Jewish practice of using Matzoh during the season of Passover, and in many Christian churches which use unleavened bread for the Lord's Supper.
