So if i add an egg (yolk is an emulsifier) when making bread it becomes ultra-processed?

  No, but if you add whey protein isolate it becomes ultra-processed. Unprocessed foods are the ones occurring in nature. In this case: Wheat, egg, salt, yeast. Once you grind the yeast, blend the ingredients together and bake it, it becomes processed. Bread is always processed. Grains by themselves - wheat, quinoa, rye, etc. are not. Similarly eggs are unprocessed. Extracting and filtering the protein so that it exists as an isolate (a form far from its naturally-occurring state) is processed.
