Targum Yonasan ac loc.

The problem one has to solve is how did they not have time to bake matzah
and yet didn't violate the issur chameitz.

The other answer I found, which I only learned now in response to your
qustion, is the Or haChaim's suggestion that they simply never stopped
working the dough.

But I think TY is the generally accepted answer, and one sould be
wondering how it would answer the oddity I raised. (Rather than personally
choosing the OhC's answer as a way to avoid the problem.)

:-)BBii!
