Simit: Turkish Bread Rings Coated with Sesame Seeds
I had a craving for Turkish bread called "Simit", so I baked a few.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine the dry ingredients with a whisk.
* Step 2
Put the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour the vegetable oil and lukewarm water into the well.
* Step 3
Mix thoroughly with a wooden spatula.
* Step 4
Knead the dough with your hands for 5-10 minutes.
* Step 5
This is how the kneaded dough should look.
* Step 6
Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces.
* Step 7
There will be a total of 16 pieces after dividing the 4 pieces in the background.
* Step 8
Keep about half of the dough in a bag or cover it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
* Step 9
Let the dough rise. Stretch the dough into thin strips (about 30-35 cm).
* Step 10
Dust the dough, if necessary.
* Step 11
Twist 2 strips of dough together.
* Step 12
Attach the ends of the dough strips to make a ring.
* Step 13
This is how the rings should look. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
* Step 14
Put the grape juice in a large bowl (the bowl should be bigger than the dough rings).
* Step 15
Spread the sesame seeds on a tray (start with about 1/3 of the bag and add more as needed).
* Step 16
Dip both sides of the rings in the grape juice, drain excess moisture, then coat both sides in the sesame seeds.
* Step 17
Try to keep the sesame seeds dry, otherwise, they will not stick to the dough very well. Try to use up the sesame seeds on the tray before adding more.
* Step 18
Reshape the rings and put them back on the baking sheet (I can bake 4 rings at a time in my oven).
* Step 19
Let the dough sit in a warm place for 20 minutes.
* Step 20
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200℃ and make the last 4 rings.
* Step 21
Once the dough has risen, bake until browned (about 18 minutes).
