history - When did Matza become dry?


It's pretty commonly accepted that Matza used to be soft (sort of like a tortilla) and was used by Hillel to make a wrap (not a sandwich).


When did this change in various geographic locations which now use Matza that is dry and cracker-like? I'm looking for explicit statements by Rishonim, Achronim or other reputable historical sources regarding the consistency of their communities' Matza, not theoretical discussions about hard or soft Matza in general.


(I am not interested here in debating if one can use soft or hard Matzas today, various Hashgachas on soft Matzas, the practices of communities who today still use soft Maẓẓa traditionally, or any other Jewish Law type issue.)
