Simit
These sesame loaves are popular throughout the Middle East, but originated in Turkey. Simit are made from flour, salt, sugar, butter, yeast, egg and, of course, sesame seeds. The dough is shaped into a large cigar, then rolled up and formed into a circle. They are traditionally baked in the oven until golden brown.
Most Turks enjoy simit as a snack or for breakfast with fruit jam, yoghurt and cheese. Lezzetli!
