Frequently Asked Questions About Antakya simit
What is Antakya simit?

How is Antakya simit different from an Istanbul simit?
Antakya simit is the regional Hatay version of Turkish simit, while Istanbul simit refers to the style associated with Istanbul. The recipes and texture can vary by bakery, so there is no single size or crust difference that applies to every loaf.
How do you make Antakya simit?
Antakya simit is made by shaping yeasted dough into rings, coating the surface with sesame, and baking it. Home and bakery recipes differ in their dough and in how they help the sesame adhere.
