In Turkey, breakfast isn’t complete without a circle of tradition, the simmit. It all starts with simple ingredients. Flour, water, yeast, salt, and a touch of sugar, mixed and kneaded until soft and smooth. The dough is rolled into long ropes, twisted, and shaped into the iconic ring that has been loved across generations. Then comes a dip in sweet grape molasses water, giving it that shiny, irresistible crust. Every curve is generously coated with sesame seeds, adding a nutty crunch that melts in your mouth. Baked to golden perfection, it emerges with a crispy outside and a soft, chewy inside, filling the kitchen with its warm, comforting aroma. And now your simmit is ready. Golden, warm, and perfect to enjoy with a cup of tea. A circle of culture, history, and flavor. That’s the magic of Simmit, a true taste of Turkey. [Music]
