Baked Chickpea Flour Simit pairs well with hummus, labneh, cheese, olives, or sliced vegetables. It can be served as part of breakfast or used as a base for a small sandwich.

Store Baked Chickpea Flour Simit only after it has cooled, in an airtight container at room temperature. Refrigeration can dry out baked goods; briefly reheating a piece can improve its texture if it has softened.

Yes, Baked Chickpea Flour Simit freezes well once fully cooled. Wrap individual pieces or seal them in a freezer-safe container, then thaw before serving; a short warm-up in the oven can refresh the outside.
