I never had a piece of toast
Particularly long and wide,
But fell upon the sanded floor,
And always on the buttered side. James Payn
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. Exodus 12:15-17
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.

Since humans first discovered fire and wondered what to have for dinner we have ground grains into flour and made some kind of bread. Historically, brown bread was as easy on the teeth as a brick. So we wanted something softer to eat and lighter on the stomach: white bread. But white bread was so expensive to make, it was the preserve of the super rich. This appetite for white bread would shape the whole evolution of our daily bread. Timeshift: Bread – A Loaf Affair, BBC 2019
