The bread was of great importance in ancient Egypt and still, both bread and beer were considered the staple food in daily life as it was paid as part of the employee's salaries and workers' incomes, and it is made from different foodstuffs, the most important of which is wheat flour
Yields were stored in silos of different sizes, and the grain was taken from those silos and weighed, then transported and the first step started, which is the grinding of grains.
The grinding process was done by two stones, the lower of which is the largest and tends a slight tendency forward, and by moving the upper stone the flour was ground and then it fell and gathered in a small
basin at the end of the front stone
In the old state, the stone was placed on the ground, and the one who grinds will bow in front of it after covering her hair with a band
As for the middle state, this stone was placed on a slightly raised base, and the one responsible for grinding was able to work standing, then this performance developed and became consisting of two similar round stones, their friction grinds the grains, then they became what is used in the countryside now and what we know as al-Yahaya.
There was also another maid next to the one who ground the grains, sifting the flour, while the coarse flour was ground again and then came the role of the bakers, where they kneaded the flour in large pots, then cut it into pieces of different sizes and made it into bread, either as round or rectangular loaves and baked after that
Now you have known How the bread was made in ancient Egypt.
