Howdy From Doha, Qatar
Quick intro, Canadian, living and working in Doha (previously Houston > Damascus > Brunei), married, two grown daughters.
Like artisan skills that can eat/drink, do not like shop bread as unknown ingredients and no self satisfaction of making / eating own. Made lots of breads over the years but joining forum as need to up my game.
Only flours I can find here are white, brown and chapati.

Beautiful photo of a very unique place.
You'll find you're in good company here at TFL, as many of us feel as you do about making our own breads (and other things). I did chuckle at your description of the flours available locally - white, brown and chapati. :) Not sure what white and brown may be, but I looked up chapati and found it is a whole grain flour from a hard durum wheat and generally ground finer than most whole wheat flours sold elsewhere.
You'll definitely encounter a few challenges, but persevere!

Thanks Cathy, I'll keep mooching around the forum and website, tones to learn.
Hi Cheese head and welcome to TFL you have a near neighbour in Dubai that may be able to give some insights on local available ingredients you can look up his blog posts under Mebake and even PM Khalid he is a very helpful person that makes some lovely breads.
Kind regards Derek (W Australia)
Boy has it changed!.
Welcome and Happy baking
