    The bread would have been baked in a clay oven, shaped somewhat like a beehive, with an opening at the top. A simple flatbread would have been made with stone-ground emmer wheat flour and a little bit of water. The flattened pieces of dough would then be stuck directly to the inner walls of the oven to cook. Some recipes call for the bread to be fried in oil instead.

    No. This bread has eggs in it. Classic Biblical unleavened bread did not have eggs, and honey is actually a leavening agent, so do not add honey.
