How To Make Turkish Street Style Simit Bread -Homemade Turkish Simit Recipe_Easy homemade bread

Smith is a delicious wing shaped bread encrusted with loads of roasted sesame seeds .

It has a unique aroma and taste .

And in this video , we are going to see how to make a homemade simi with a crispy crust and soft cream and a simi just the way that we get from the streets of Istanbul .

As the first step , let's prepare the bread dough .

I'm adding some lukewarm water into a boil water which is not cold , not hot but just slightly warm .

43.819 --> 111.139

And after for about six minutes , our dough is now solved .

But the surface may not be very smooth .

And that's ok .

That's the way it should be .

And now we are going to divide this dough here .

I'm dividing it into four equal parts .

I'm rolling it into a small cylinder shape of approximately 10 centimeters in length and now cover them so that it will not get dry and let them sit and rest for 10 minutes .

And in the meantime , let's roast our sesame seeds on medium heat until they are light golden in color .

And now they're done and I'm transferring them onto a tray and let them cool down completely .

I do is not ready for the next step .

So take each portion and then divide it into two equal parts and then roll and long it it into a dose strand of approximately 30 centimeters in length and then intertwined them and squeeze the two ends together to form a ring .

We need to press and roll it on the scene so that they both stay in place and they hold the shape .

I'm placing it on a baking tray .

So now we've prepared all our four rings and now let's cut our smits with molasses and sesame seeds .

So here is our roasted sesame seeds and into the spoil .

313.85 --> 375.66

So now we finish the pre shaping of our summit and they are not ready for proofing or rising to cover and place them in a warm environment and let them proof for 30 minutes .

And after half an hour , they look so beautiful and they have puffed up slightly .

And now to give them that signature Smith a shape , let's do the final shaping of our Smith .

So take each of those proofed rings and then just elongate the rings so that the diameter gets bigger .

And at the same time , I'm taking care not to deflate the door completely .

And now place si onto a baking tray and now they are all ready to go into the oven to bake at 4 50 F , preheated oven for 10 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 400 F and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes .

And after baking , we'll get those beautiful cements that smells amazing .

And they have a unique flavor from those roasted sesame seeds and from those grape molasses .

And this is one of my most favorite breads and they have a crispy crest and soft cream and they are best to have while they are fresh and warm out of the oven .

And we can have them for breakfast with some feta cheese and some olives .

And we can also have them with the evening tea .

And this bread is so versatile that it goes pretty well with any of those fruit jams or with some chocolate hazelnut spread or even with some plain butter .

And it's so good that this bread is one of those bread recipes that requires a less needing and less proofing time .

And so we can make them faster than many other bread recipes .

And if you want to make a big batch , you can double this recipe .

I hope you like this recipe and I hope you will make this at home and I'm sure you will love this bread .
