What exactly is manna?

Accepted answer

Well, the word "manna" itself means "What is it?" so I'm not sure you're going to find a perfectly satisfactory answer to your question. :-)

In addition, it was created supernaturally by God, and He didn't share the recipe. :-)

Since it was a single miracle, and not something that people still eat today, no one really knows personally what it tastes like. However, the KJV states in Exodus 16:31, "It was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey."

I would not say that it was necessarily bread as we think of it, since Exodus 16:21 states that when the sun beat down in the afternoon, the manna melted.
