Here this Italian Chef explains how Roman ancient bread was prepared. He follows the recipes religiously ..it's so interesting...
The same bread was found in Pompeii.
Unfortunately it does not have English subtitles.
I have made bread at home and it is not hard to do.
You start with bakers' yeast, which is like brown sand, and you mix a tablespoon of it with a pint of warm water and some sugar. It will start bubbling and foaming after half an hour or so, and that's when you can mix it with flour and more water. The ancients did not have sugar so they must have used diluted honey instead.
I like to add green olives to my bread mix to make olive bread.
