Simit: Turkish Bread Rings Coated with Sesame Seeds
I had a craving for Turkish bread called "Simit", so I baked a few.
If you do not have grape juice, you could substitute it with honey diluted in lukewarm water.
If possible, use "pekmez" (thick grape syrup) dissolved in water. This is a common ingredient used in Turkey.
Baking quickly at a high temperature is the key to this recipe. Recipe by Hirakegoma

- 1
Combine the dry ingredients with a whisk.
- 2
Put the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour the vegetable oil and lukewarm water into the well.
- 3
Mix thoroughly with a wooden spatula.
- 4
Knead the dough with your hands for 5-10 minutes.
- 5
This is how the kneaded dough should look.
- 6
Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces.
- 7
There will be a total of 16 pieces after dividing the 4 pieces in the background.
- 8
Keep about half of the dough in a bag or cover it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
- 9
Let the dough rise. Stretch the dough into thin strips (about 30-35 cm).
- 10
Dust the dough, if necessary.
- 11
Twist 2 strips of dough together.
- 12
Attach the ends of the dough strips to make a ring.
- 13
This is how the rings should look. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
- 14
Put the grape juice in a large bowl (the bowl should be bigger than the dough rings).
- 15
Spread the sesame seeds on a tray (start with about 1/3 of the bag and add more as needed).
- 16
Dip both sides of the rings in the grape juice, drain excess moisture, then coat both sides in the sesame seeds.
- 17
Try to keep the sesame seeds dry, otherwise, they will not stick to the dough very well. Try to use up the sesame seeds on the tray before adding more.
- 18
Reshape the rings and put them back on the baking sheet (I can bake 4 rings at a time in my oven).
- 19
Let the dough sit in a warm place for 20 minutes.
- 20
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200℃ and make the last 4 rings.
- 21
Once the dough has risen, bake until browned (about 18 minutes).
- 22
Yum.
