5.0 Baking Technology throughout the History of Ancient Egypt
Penetration in the field of biotech are directly returned to bread manufacturing, harvest, threshing, crushing the grain in order to achieve flour and sieving were completely illustrated on the ancient egyptian monuments (see Fig. 1). A hand grindery Known as a saddle quern was used for grinding grain (see Fig. 1F) by the housewife. Eventually, crushing was carried out on a large scale by grinders. Fermentation by the use of leaven, a yeast block was considered a progression that changed bread making (see Fig. 1G). More than thirty different forms of bread and cakes were mentioned by 1200 BC. A. Harvesting grain and tying packages as represented in the tomb of mnnA, Thebes. B. New Kingdom harvesting wheat. Cutting heads very short and casting in a widely net, Thebes. C. Old Kingdom reaping wheat. Bounding heads into packages and laying them onto the donkeys ' backs from a tomb the Saqqara tomb. D. Scene of …show more content…
2- There was a relationship between the variety of baked products shapes and the ovens ' shapes used in baking especially during the New Kingdom. 3-There were different names of baked products in Ancient Egypt. 4- Pies and cakes were made of flour mixed with different types of cheese, fruits, juices and honey whereas breads types were differentiated from each other depending on the types of flour (wheat or barely) used in baking them. 5- All kind of white bread was made of wheat which gave them this white color. 6- More recently, systematic studies have been applied to the development of new baked products but most commonly the rule sets applied have tended to be limited and confined by the traditional definition of baked products. 7- The ancient Egyptians were equal with the modern ones in baking products steps whereas they were completely different in equipments used in baked
