Under the New Covenant, they probably didn't feel the need to use unleavened bread. That is definitely interesting, as I always assumed everyone used unleavened bread for the Eucharist. Based on the fact that Jesus Christ lived under the Torah and fulfilled it, also the Gospels say that the Last Supper took place on the first of the days of unleavened bread (during which time the Torah forbids the consumption of leavened bread in Deuteronomy 16:3), it seems most likely that the bread was unleavened. Jesus and the disciples at least celebrated this meal as the Passover (Luke 22:8-15).
