 I am aware that they were baked in a mold but where is the source that said
that they could be bent?

I could be wrong but menachos that were 'rekikim" seem to me to be wafer
like and NOT flexible at all. That does not mean there was no suc hthing as
bendable matzo [iow unleavened pita] but I am not convinced that this was
EVER the exclusive matza formula...
