Making another panis quadratus, the Roman bread shape that there are carbonized loaves of from Pompeii and Herculaneum. 🍞 Left is my bread; right is a carbonized loaf from the Villa Regina di Boscoreale (image from Farrell Monaco / Tavola Mediterranea).

Photo of loaf of bread on baking paper. The bread is in a circular shape, cut so that it contains eight triangular sections; it is also tied around the middle (horizontally)
