SIMIT (TURKISH BREAD RINGS)

Simit (Turkish Bread Rings) image

Simit is a ring-shaped unleavened bread, which is a popular street food in Turkey. The recipe comes from "The Country Kitchen" by Jocasta Innes, but I use butter instead of the recommended margarine, and sometimes substitute poppy seeds for the recommended sesame seeds.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

8 ounces plain white flour (225g)
1 teaspoon salt
2 ounces margarine (50g) or 2 ounces butter (50g)
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon water
1 egg, beaten
1 ounce sesame seeds (25g) or 1 ounce poppy seed, approximately (25g)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
In a bowl, mix the flour and salt together, and make a well in the middle.
Melt the margarine/butter, then mix with the oil, milk, water and egg.
Pour the egg mixture into the well in the flour, and mix well to form a dough.
Shape the dough into rings about 4" in diameter.
Grease baking sheet, and lay the rings on it.
Brush the rings with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
I think these are best eaten hot or while still warm.

SIMIT BREAD

Simit bread image

Provided by Cassie Best

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

250g strong white bread flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tsp (5g) fast-action dried yeast
100g sesame seeds
1 tbsp pomegranate molasses or molasses syrup

Steps:

Tip the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl and mix together. Add the yeast and 150ml warm water, mix, then knead for a few mins to bring everything together into a soft dough. Tip onto your work surface and continue kneading for 10-12 mins until the dough feels stretchy. Return to a clean bowl, cover and leave to rise for an hour or two until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan until golden. Set aside in the pan. Mix the molasses syrup or pomegranate molasses with 50ml water in a wide shallow bowl.
Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each into a sausage about 45cm long. Flip the rope of dough back on itself then twist the two strands and loop into a ring, squeezing the ends together to secure. Once shaped, dip each piece into the molasses water, turning to coat, then into the sesame seeds, making sure each one is well covered. Transfer to a baking tray, cover and leave to prove for another 45 mins-1 hr. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
When the breads have puffed up, uncover them and bake for 15-18 mins until golden. Cool, then wrap in a tea towel to keep them fresh. Can be made up to a day ahead and warmed gently before serving.

Toast sesame seeds: While the dough is rising, place sesame seeds in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, and toast until they turn golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Transfer into a large shallow plate to cool.
