All the supermarkets, large and small sell it. It is in the flour section and there are more than one companies that produce it. I use ARUN, it is a white bag with a broad green stripe down the left side. One side in Turkish the other in English says EXTRA WHITE FLOUR and there is a picture of bread on it. Pretty good product. Fresh yeast is also available sometimes, it's usually in the cheese fridge and look kike large OXO cubes, silver cover. I buy up packets when I see it and freeze it, then just take it out of the freezer half an hour before you want to use it. Dood luck!

Message 4: you can also buy fresh yeast from the bakeries - Kardesler and Ozkardesler in Lapta both sell it and they also sell bread dough if you don't want to do that part yourself.
