If you love Turkish food, you may hear about simit or Turkish bagel. A big ring shape bread covered with sesame seeds is one of the famous street food in Turkey.

You can check how to make homemade simit here and here.

And today I will share another Turkish delicacy; Açma or Turkish soft bagel. Yep.... this is a soft version of a Turkish bagel. If simit has crunch skin outside while chewy inside, this soft bagel version has a cotton-soft texture.

Usually, it is also sold together with simit and other traditional or nontraditional Turkish patisserie products.

You may love my Peynirli poğaça / Turkish Cheesy breakfast pastry

Açma is generally made without filling, but during the processed butter applied over the dough before rolling it into a ring shape. That butter gives such a delicious and distinguished taste when you tear the bagel, it'll wire-like texture.

Even though mostly made wiıthout filling, there are some açma made with filling and we call it "poğaça".  The filling has wide various start from Olive, sausage, cheese, potato or minced meat.

Making this patisserie delicacy actually very simple and straightforward. For the butter layer, you must have very soft, but not melting butter ready. No egg is required for this recipe. Egg wash only require for brush the topping before sprinkling with sesame seeds. If you want to skip egg completely, you can use a mixture of 2 Tbsp molasses mixed with a half cup of water. Use this to brush the dough before sprinkling with sesame seeds.

Mix all liquid ingredients with sugar and yeast. Let it rest until it looks bubble. If you don't see any bubbles, don't bother to continue. It means your yeast is no longer active and you need to buy another one.

After you have your bubble liquid, you can add dry ingredients like flour and salt. Knead well until smooth and elastic. You can use an electric kneading machine or mixer or just use your strength and knead by hand. This dough is very friendly and easy to handle.

So here my açma recipe you can try at home. It's so easy, failproof, and won't let you down to serving for breakfast, brunch, fill kid's lunch box, or for your picnic basket.

Açma / Turkish soft bagel

By: Çitra's Home Diary

Make 14-16 pcs
Ingredients:

🥯1 glass (250 gr) of warm milk
🥯 1 glass (250 gr) of warm water
🥯 ½ glass (125 gr) of vegetable oil
🥯 2 tbsp (30 gr) of sugar
🥯 1 tbsp instant dry yeast
🥯 4 ½ glasses ( 800 gr) of flour--> more or less depending on your type of flour, add gradually
🥯 2 tsp salt

For filling/ layer:

🥯 enough butter, very soft but not melted

topping:
🥯 1 egg + 1 tbsp oil (*)
🥯 white/black sesame seed

*Note: want to go eggless? mix 2 Tbsp molasses with half a cup of water. Use to brush the dough before sprinkling with sesame seeds.

How to make:

1) Mix warm milk, water, vegetable oil, sugar, and yeast in a kneading bowl. Use a wire whisk to mix everything. Let it stand for about 10 minutes or until you see a bubble that confirms you have active yeast.

2) Add the flour and salt, and start to knead until becomes a smooth and elastic dough. When you push gently the dough with your finger, it will spring back. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest until it doubles in size. How long it takes would depend on your room temperature.

3) Deflate the dough and divide it into 8-10 portions. Round each part into a ball. 

Work one ball at a time, using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a long oval shape (see illustration pictures #4). 

4) Apply soft butter to the dough ( picture #5). Then roll up long side edges and shape like a long rope. You may roll it up againts the table and carefully strecth it to make it longer (see picture #6). Twist it to make it like a rope, attach two sides to each other and shape it like a big ring (picture #7). 

5) Move them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Do to all the dough. Loosely cover with a kitchen towel or plastic film and let it rest until noticeably puffy.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 180℃.

6) Brush the surface with egg wash (or molasses mixture) and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake into the preheated oven for about 17-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven and place over a cooling rack.

Note: Time and temperature of baking it's only guidance, adjust to your own oven condition.

Enjoy. Afiyet olsun.

Merhaba dari Türki semuanya 👋

Terima kasih udah mampir kemari ya. Boleh kok tinggalkan kesan dan pesan di kolom komen dibawah... Saya akan sangat-sangat berterima kasih dan makin semangat update-update 💟

Di Turki, selain simit, Açma juga salah satu makanan yang biasa dinikmati sebagai sarapan ataupun teman minum teh di siang hari. Bertekstur empuk seperti roti manis khas Indonesia.  Biasa dijual di toko-toko (patisserie) di waktu pagi sampai siang. Selain di toko patisserie, açma ini juga biasa dijajakan oleh penjual keliling atau digerobak pinggir jalan bersama dengan bagel khas Turki simit.

Nah, yang penasaran ingin coba juga hari ini saya ingin bagi salah satu resep untuk sarapan keluarga saya terutama di akhir minggu. Bisa juga untuk isian lunch box si kecil atau bekal piknik 🧺

Açma / Turkish soft bagel

By: Çitra's Home Diary

Hasil jadi 14-16 buah 

Bahan-bahan:

🥯1 gelas (250 gr) susu hangat
🥯 1 gelas (250 gr) air hangat
🥯 ½ gelas (125 gr) minyak sayur
🥯 2 sdm (30 gr) gula pasir
🥯 1 sdm ragi instant
🥯 4 ½ gelas ( ±800 gr) terigu serbaguna
🥯 2 sdt garam

Untuk olesan layer:

🥯 mentega, sangat lembek tapi tidak cair

topping:
🥯 1 telur kocok dengan 1 sdm minyak (*)
🥯 biji wijen hitam dan putih

*Note: bisa diganti dengan campuran 2 sdm molasses diaduk dengan ½ gelas air hangat.

Cara membuat:

1) Dalam mangkok besar, campur susu hangat, air hangat, minyak sayur, gula dan ragi instant. Aduk rata dengan whisk. Diamkan kurang lebih 10 menit atau sampai berbusa. 

Note; jika tidak ada buih/ busanya berarti raginya tidak aktif lagi ya moms. Bisa beli ragi yang baru dan ulangi prosesnya.

2) Setelah campuran diatas terlihat berbusa (ragi aktif), masukkan terigu dan garam. Lalu uleni hingga kalis dan elastis. Proses pengulenan bisa menggunakan mikser listrik atau dengan tangan biasanya. Adonan dalam resep ini "bersahabat" banget kok moms, gak susah. Kalau dirasa adonan sudah kalis bisa stop pengulenan. Caranya, jika adonan dipencet ringan dengan jari, adonan akan membal balik (spring back). Tutup dengan plastik cling atau serbet lembab bersih dan diamkan sampai dobel volumenya. Lama proofingnya tergantung suhu dan kelembaban ruang masing-masing ya.

3) Kempiskan adonan dan uleni ringan saja dan bulatkan. Bagi adonan menjadi 8 sampai 10 bagian. Bulatkan lagi tiap bagian.

Ambil 1 bulatan lalu gilas dengan rolling pin berbentuk oval panjang (lihat gambar#4 diatas)

4) Oleskan mentega yang lembek ke permukaan adonan tersebut, oles yang rata ya (lihat gambar #5). Lalu gulung dari bagian yang panjang membentuk gulungan panjang. Roll lagi di meja kerja hingga gulungan menjadi lebih panjang (gambar #6). Lalu pelintir gulungan panjang tersebut dan rekatkan ujung-ujungnya hingga menyerupai tali tambang berbentuk cincin besar (gambar #7).

5) Susun diatas loyang baking beralas baking paper. Tutup dengan serbet lembab bersih dan diamkan hingga kurleb 30 menit. Sementara itu panaskan oven suhu 180℃.

6) Setelah açma terlihat mengembang (tapi jangan over proofing ya), olesi permukaannya dengan olesann telur (molasses) dan taburi dengan wijen. Panggang dalam oven yang sudah dipanaskan selama kurleb 17-20 menit atau sampai permukaannya keemasan matang.

Angkat dari oven dan susun dirak pendingin.

Note: Waktu dan suhu memanggang sesuaikan dengan kondisi oven masing-masing ya.

Afiyet olsun. 

Selamat mencoba, semoga bermanfaat.
