About Turkish pretzel
Turkish pretzel, or simit, is a beloved staple in Turkish cuisine, often enjoyed as a breakfast food or snack. This circular, ring-shaped bread boasts a golden-brown crust coated in toasted sesame seeds, offering a delightful crunch with every bite. Simit is made from simple ingredients: flour, water, yeast, sugar, and salt, with a molasses glaze that helps the sesame seeds cling to its surface. A traditional low-fat option, simit is rich in carbohydrates, making it a satisfying source of energy. While its sesame topping provides healthy fats and nutrients like calcium and magnesium, its refined flour base may not be ideal for those seeking whole grain alternatives. Despite being deliciously light, simit is best consumed in moderation if paired with calorie-laden accompaniments like cheese or spreads. Low in sugar and cholesterol, Turkish pretzel is a versatile and widely cherished symbol of Istanbul's culinary heritage.
