shortening ...shortening is available all over, try the oil aisles, down with the ghee. i think i bought mine in the carrefour in city centre.
haven't seen bran, haven't really looked though. not sure its that readily available? try the cold cereal aisle? perhaps that explains the rather white brown bread. the rye bread i bought today must have had only 1 grain of rye as well. was delicious, but not very strong in the rye department.
another ingredient that seems to be fairly rare is baking soda. can always find baking powder.

withnail... ...yes, I bake, a LOT!! You can find shortening (Crisco) at Carrefours and/or Megamart, or ShopRite, occasionally. Wheat bran I saw at Megamart just this morning with the other grains....3rd aisle from the left of the store, back section(I believe!)
Postmodernman...baking soda is now readily available at Megamart and Shoprite on a regular basis. If you have problems, look for Bicarbonate of Soda..same thing.
Ohh and I just found Jif peanut butter at Megamart...yeah!!!

Ohh and yes, we'll have to bake KSA some cookies...that reminds me..I have a great recipe for those with a Hershey kiss in the middle...no flour is used either..its a great and easy recipe but delicious..now if I can just FIND Hershey kisses!!! Gotta admit...shopping in Doha is an adventure!!

I know! Seems like they ...I know! Seems like they always have Kisses, except when you NEED them! Then they just have two-packs bundled together of the kind no one wants, i.e. white chocolate.
White chocolate is NOT chocolate!!
Scarlett said
lol...well it is in SOMEONE'S mind... ...evidently!
I love the plain ones or the ones with Almonds in them...but then I eat them and can't stand the sight of them for another month or so..
