Yup. The common story is that when the Jews were boogieing out of slavery
in Egypt, there was no time to allow bread to rise, and matzoh was the
result.  Ingredients are flour, water, mix and bake within 18 minutes
(before any fermentation can occur).

Good info on Wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matzo

Matzoh would make for very poor trenchers.
