Instructions
For the circles:
Mix oil, water, milk, sugar, salt and yeast until yeast, salt and sugar are dissolved.
Gradually add flour until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Cover the dough and let it rise at a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Roll the dough into a line and divide it into 10 pieces of approx. 90 g each.
Divide one piece of dough in two pieces. Roll both pieces into very thin snakes. Twist these together.
Form the two twisted snakes into a circle.
Cover the Simit and let them rise again for about 15 minutes on a baking tray.
For covering:
Roast the sesame seeds in a pan without fat and set aside.
Mix the syrup with the water in a deep plate.
First bathe the simit in the syrup and then roll them in the sesame seeds.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees (top and bottom heat) for about 20 minutes.
Cover the simit with a clean tea towel to cool down so that they don't become hard.
Enjoy immediately
Notes
Simit taste pure or with a sweet or savory topping.
Freeze the remaining simit. Thawed, they taste (almost) like they just came out of the oven.
