Ingredients for Making Crispy Simit
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 glass of warm water
- 1 finger less oil from half a tea glass
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3.5 – 4 cups of flour
For the topping;
- 2 – 3 tablespoons of molasses
- Less than half a tea glass of water
- 1 – 1.5 cups roasted sesame seeds
For the dough, mix yeast, sugar and water, cover and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Then add oil and salt and mix again. Add flour little by little and knead the dough.
The dough is kneaded until it is well-formed and a soft dough (a little harder than pastry dough) that does not stick to the hand is prepared.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and let them rest, covered, for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, molasses and water are mixed in a suitable container until they reach a homogeneous consistency.
The first of the rested pieces is stretched on the counter until it is approximately 4 spans long and thinner than 1 finger.
It is folded in half from the middle and twisted by turning it in the opposite direction from both ends.
The two ends are brought together to form a bagel. The other pieces are prepared in the same way.
First, the simits are dipped in molasses water, then in sesame seeds and placed on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees, top and bottom, until golden brown.
