How to make bread in ancient Egypt?

I need to write a paper. I have 10 questions, all of which are 40 points. In ancient Egypt, bread was mainly made according to the following steps:

Firstly, the impurities in the grain are filtered by a sieve, put into a stone mill for grinding, then put into a stone mortar, and finely pounded with a long-handled stone pestle to grind coarse flour. Next, it is necessary to sieve it several times, so that the powder particles will become fine. Then add water to thicken the flour, then add yeast.

Secondly, some people knead the dough in a big pottery bowl, while others drop the dough on an inclined slate.

Third, bake some simple kneaded bread on a charcoal fire and put more complicated bread in the oven. The toaster is made by laying another slate flat on three upright slates and then heating it under the flat slate.

In addition, they will use molds to make cakes with holes, or pour batter into stone plates to make round bread, oval bread or baked cakes.

By the way, when ancient Egypt celebrated the god of sensibility (the god of harvest), the ancient Egyptians also baked a kind of bread in the shape of a penis, with a golden skin and a white and soft middle for the villagers to enjoy among the golden ears of rice everywhere. So, since I knew this custom, I never bought loaf bread again.
