Turkey shaped bread

My husband is a vegetarian and thought this was really fun. It is a multgrain bread. I probably would make an egg based dough next time like challah which would be less sticky to form.

Buying Flour in Turkey


I'm currently staying in Turkey and would like to do some bread baking while I'm here. It's my understanding that at least some of the flour sold here is excellent for making breads like baguettes or like the everyday crusty Turkish white bread. Many different flours are sold at the grocery store near my adopted apartment here in Istanbul, but I'm not sure what to look for. What protein content, grind, ingredients, etc should I go for? Does anyone know a particular brand that's especially good? Any guidance or information would be much appreciated!
