About Turkish simit

Simit is a circular bread commonly referred to as the Turkish bagel, originating from Turkish cuisine. Its signature golden-brown crust is achieved by dipping the dough in molasses and sprinkling it generously with sesame seeds before baking. Made primarily from flour, yeast, water, and salt, Simit is a simple yet flavorful staple enjoyed across Turkey. Often paired with tea, cheese, or jams, its soft interior contrasts beautifully with its slightly crispy exterior. Nutritionally, Simit is a good source of carbohydrates and energy, making it a quick snack for busy mornings. However, it’s relatively low in protein and fiber, and the high sesame seed content contributes to a higher fat profile, though much of it comes from heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Moderation is key to enjoying Simit as part of a balanced diet.
