Bread in Ancient Egypt

Bread production in Ancient
Egypt (Inside the tomb of
Meketre, 12th dynasty)

Bread was an integral food token in the ancient Egyptian foods. But the bread they ate dissents in many ways from the bread we are employed to eating today. Because of the rough utensils used in making bread, different discarded amounts such as quartz, feldspar, mica and other ferromagnesian minerals used to get blurred into the flour, along with achievable germs and other foreign bodies. Once the flour was found, they would make bread by integrating dough, kneading it with both hands or close feet in large dough cropping containers. To add some flavor, additives much as yeast, salt, spices up, milk and sometimes eggs were mixed up right before bread was cut into baking parts. When the bread was all spread and fresh to eat, it would always be rougher and harder because of full these mixtures. Regardless, bread took up the biggest chunk of food habit in ancient Egypt.
