Why was bread so important to Hebrews?

It goes back to when the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt. Moses was trying to convince the pharaoh to free them and the pharaoh kept refusing. Moses then unleashed ten plagues on Egypt. After the tenth plague, the pharaoh relented and said the Hebrews were free. While packing, they did not have time to bake bread, as they were afraid the pharaoh would change his mind. This unleavened bread is now called matzah, and is eaten on Passover, the holiday celebrating the liberation of the Jews from Egypt.
