Bread - my favourite staple food

One of my "biggest" concerns when I decided to move to Turkey was how to live without the famous German bread varieties, especially the wholemeal bread. In Germany, I almost never ate white bread, except the occasional French baguette. In Turkey, like in most countries, people usually consume white bread and it was difficult to find something else. A close friend of mine who moved to Sweden some years ago actually bought a small mill for at home and took whole wheat with her so that she could make her own bread. I was thinking of doing the same but I am happy to see, that now, different kinds of bread are available in the bakeries and supermarkets. Besides that, my mom is often baking her own bread, which is really the best. Thank you mom!
