"Simitçi Geldiiiiiiii....!! Simitçi Geldiiiiiiii....!!" ... That's the simit seller who always comes every morning in my alley. Yes... he sells that popular Turkish-style bagel only in the morning which he brought fresh from the nearest public oven in my area.

People here love to enjoy them at breakfast or brunch time. You can find Simit sellers mostly in the early morning at streets or any other places in Turkey. And some breakfast cafes provide them while they are hot and fresh from the oven in the morning only. With hot tea accompany it make this "bagel" very popular as a breakfast/ brunch menu in Turkey.
And you can make them at home too for your family, it's easy and economic though.

How to make:
In a large bowl mix flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Make a hole in the middle resembles well, add in egg, oil, and warm water. Knead until smooth and not sticky at your fingers. In this stage you might need additional flour or warm water--add it carefully.


Or mix all ingredients in a mixer bowl and knead with a mixer until smooth.
Cover the dough with plastic film or kitchen towel and rest in a warm room temperature place ( I need about 60 minutes) or until dough fluffy and doubled in volume.

note: resting time it's depending on your room temperature



Flatten the dough and divide into 10 equal parts. Take one part, and again divided into two parts. Shape each piece lengthwise as shown in picture above. Use your palm to roll the dough to shape like long rope and attach both side, shape like ring. 
Do same procedure to the rest of the dough. Cover with a towel and let it rest again ± 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 190 ⁰C. Take that shaped dough, dip in the water, and roll over in sesame seeds until the entire surface is covered with sesame.
Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in the oven until reddish-golden on the surface about 25 ~ 30 minutes.

You can enjoy this simit with or without cheese and hot tea for breakfast or brunch.
