Let's talk about what separates "okay" homemade bread from the kind that makes people stop mid-conversation and ask "wait, you made this?" It's not just technique. It's not fancy equipment. It's SAF RED yeast - the same professional-grade yeast that real bakeries use.
Here's what home baking blogs won't tell you: the yeast packets at grocery stores are designed for convenience, not quality. SAF RED is what professional bakers reach for when they need reliable rise, complex flavor development, and that distinctive bakery texture. Good luck finding it next to the Fleischmann's.
But even if you track down SAF RED, making authentic dukkah bread means sourcing whole coriander seeds, quality smoked paprika, gochugaru for heat, and proper flaky finishing salt. That's a treasure hunt across multiple specialty stores.
We provide enough ingredients for you to make this stunning twisted dukkah bread twice - because once you bake with professional yeast and create your own Middle Eastern spice blend, you'll understand why bakery bread tastes so different from yours.
Stop settling for grocery store yeast that gives you grocery store results. Stop wondering why your homemade bread doesn't have that bakery depth and complexity.
What's in your kit:
- 4½ teaspoons SAF RED yeast (the professional baker's secret weapon)
- 4 tablespoons whole coriander seeds (the backbone of authentic dukkah)
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin (earthy depth you can't fake)
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika (complexity that transforms everything)
- 2 teaspoons flaky sea salt (proper finishing salt, not table salt)
- 1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean heat that elevates traditional dukkah)
This isn't just about making bread - it's about understanding what happens when you use the same ingredients that professional bakers rely on.
$17 shipped. Two twisted artisan loaves. Zero compromise on quality.
You'll still need bread flour, milk, olive oil, and basic pantry items, but those are the ingredients any decent store stocks.
