yeast (fresh/dry)
BAKING PRODUCTS droždí (čerstvé/sušené)
Look for cakes of yeast in the dairy cooler or “Instantní droždí” in the baking aisle. Baking Powder (“kypřící prášek do pečiva”) – look for small packets in the baking aisle under the Vitana or Dr. Oetker brand. Each packet contains approximately 1 tablespoon of powder. This is usually not Double Acting Baking Powder, which you may be used to. There is special baking powder for ginger bread – kypřící prášek do perníku. Self-‐rising flour you can find in Robertson (Jugoslávských partizánů 738/38). Baking Soda (“soda bicarbona”) – look for a small clear plastic bottles in the baking aisle. Tesco sometimes has boxes of baking soda with the International Foods. Also available in small packets as “jedlá soda.” Corn Starch (“kukuřičný škrob”) – under the Dr. Oetker brand it is sold as Gustin Maizena. Potato Starch – jemný bramborový škrob Vanilla Extract – you can find it at some Droggeries. “Vanilka cukr” (vanilla flavoured sugar) is sold in packets in the baking aisle. Under the Dr. Oetker brand you can find small vials of vanilla essence (lemon also). Sometimes bottles of vanilla can be found with the International Foods at Tesco. Chocolate chips – Available under the ShopRite brand at Tesco. But be warned, some bags are not of good quality; check the expiration date. Before chocolate chips arrived in Prague, chocolate chip cookie lovers bought large bars of solid chocolate (dark, milk or white) and chopped them into chunks for a very tasty cookie! You also have a guarantee of better quality chocolate. Orion semisweet baking bars, “Orion na Varenie,” are inexpensive and quite tasty. BREAKFAST CEREALS AND GRAINS
A small variety of Kellogg brand sugar sweetened cereals are well stocked in most supermarkets. Tesco is now starting to bring in their own brand of cereals. A German brand, Bruggen, is also being seen more frequently. Their unsweetened Rice Flakes are just like Rice Krispies. Staples such as oatmeal are at all supermarkets and potraviny.
