Baked on a griddle: a thick plate made of pottery (and later of metal) with small depressions similar to a modern waffle iron. In some languages one may have to say “a flat cooking pan” or “a flat iron for baking.” This object was placed on three stones between which a fire was built. The dough was then put on the surface of the pan or disk and cooked.

Fine flour: see verse 1.

Mixed with oil: see verse 4.
