My boyfriend is from Turkey (I'm American), and loves simit, I've tried other simit recipes, but, to him, they just were "ok" (not quite right). When he tasted these, I could actually see his eyes grow bigger and light-up and he said, "That is exactly simit!" He said, "you can just keep making this recipe." :) Thank you! P.S. - He's been talking about kisir, too, so with your new post, that will be next!! Thanks, again! I just discovered this site a few weeks ago…it’s great!

My donor kebab cravings are usually satisfied by gyros, but I've tried several recipes over the years for simits and none have come close. I tried a recipe attributed to the same cookbook author, from "Classical Turkish Cooking: Traditional Turkish Food for the American". It was very different and ended up more like a brioche. The dough called for: 1 teaspoon active dry yeast Pinch of sugar 1/4 cup warm water 3 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 egg 3 tablespoons sugar 1/2 lbs (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature divided into small pieces 2 teaspoons pulverized mahleb About 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons water I look forward to trying this recipe as soon as it cools down here on the east coast)!

We ate Ekmek every morning and Simits in the afternoon. I'm going to try to convince my local bagel shop to make this simit recipe. I lived in Adana for years.
