Exodus 12:33-34 explains that the Egyptians urged the Israelites to leave so urgently that they could not wait for their bread to rise, carrying unleavened dough instead. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was instituted as an annual memorial of this hasty departure (Exodus 12:17). The dietary laws of Sinai came later, and the feast predates the Canaanite context of the other options.
