A simit is a circular bread with sesame seeds, very common in Turkey, as well as in Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria and other parts of the Balkans. The characteristics of simit (size,crunchiness/chewiness, etc.) tend to vary by region. Simit is generally eaten plain, or for breakfast with jelly, jam, or cheese.
Simit is often sold by street vendors who either have a simit trolley or carry the simit on their head...
I found a few different simit recipes through google but I've chosen this one because it looks best to me !
Anyway, I added a bit of olive oil to moisten the dough and shaped it into rounds with few different ways ( from different sources ) to make it look not too dull, I also substituted honey for molasses which made my simits look not as dark as the original ones. As for the taste, if you look through the ingredients..I reckon that nothing ,except a taste of sesame seeds and a bit more chewier texture, would be expected more than a plain white bread !
