How was the bread prepared?

Leviticus 24:5 (ESV)

5 “You shall take fine flour and bake twelve loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf.

The Lord instructed the Hebrews to make twelve loaves of bread using fine flour. Based on the amount specified—two tenths of an ephah (about 4.4 litres)—these loaves would have been fairly large.
