"Could have been done in period" does not equal "was period" or "has
been demonstrated to be period".

I have no evidence at all about period superflat breads. -- A faint
memory: is unleavened bread part of the Passover seder?  On the other
hand, the Jews did things that many other people did not (e.g.,
circumcision).  Or unleavened bread may have been exceptional /
emergency rations, which would not generally be appropriate at a feast.
