Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup sesame seeds
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons water
5 tablespoons milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup olive oil
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Toast sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over low heat until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Keep a close eye as they change color very quickly.
  • Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the flour mixture and add water, milk, melted butter, and olive oil; stir well until dough pulls together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Divide dough in to 8 parts and roll each part into a 6- to 8-inch long rope. Join ends together and seal to form a ring. Place rings on prepared baking sheet, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush rings with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crusty, about 20 minutes.

I'm allergic to sesame seeds, so I substituted poppy seeds instead. They turned out great! I'll definitely be making these again.

These simit rings were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my simit rings turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These simit rings were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using a different flour next time.

I've tried many simit recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the baking time was perfect. The result was a beautiful golden-brown ring with a slightly chewy texture. Highly recommended!
