Having seen one of the loaves which had been excavated, the shape is too
even not to have been formed without a mold, probably surrounded by a cake
ring (but I have to admit, I haven't seen evidence as to how the mold was
used). The shape has a central circle surrounded by trapezoidal segments
similar to the area between the spokes of a wheel.
Whether separate balls of dough or a single ball of dough were used is an
open question, but the use of separate balls of dough would make the bread
easier to divide.
