Frequently Asked Questions About Beypazarı simit
What is Beypazarı simit?
Beypazarı simit is a sesame-coated ring bread associated with Beypazarı, a district of Ankara, Turkey. Unlike soft, chewy simit, it is known for its notably dry, crisp texture and is often enjoyed with tea.
How is Beypazarı simit different from regular Turkish simit?
Beypazarı simit is much crisper and harder than the soft, chewy sesame simit many people know from Istanbul. The ring shape and sesame coating are familiar, but the distinctive dry texture sets it apart.
Why is Beypazarı simit so hard and crunchy?
Beypazarı simit is baked to be dry and crisp, so its hardness is a characteristic of the bread rather than a sign that it has gone stale. Its texture is deliberately unlike that of a soft, chewy simit.
What is Beypazarı simit made of?
Beypazarı simit is typically made from a simple bread dough with flour, water, yeast and salt, then coated with sesame seeds. Coating details, including whether pekmez is used, can vary between recipes.
How is Beypazarı simit traditionally made?
The dough for Beypazarı simit is shaped into rings, coated with sesame and baked until crisp. Recipes may differ in their dough and coating techniques, but achieving its characteristic dry texture is central to the method.
How do you eat Beypazarı simit?
You can eat Beypazarı simit plain or dip it in tea to soften it a little. It also works with breakfast or tea-time accompaniments such as cheese, olives and tomatoes; dipping is useful because the bread is quite hard.
Where does Beypazarı simit come from?
Beypazarı simit comes from Beypazarı, a district in Ankara Province, Turkey. It is a local specialty named after the town and can also be found in bakeries elsewhere in Turkey.
How should you store Beypazarı simit?
Once completely cool, store Beypazarı simit in an airtight container in a dry place. Moisture makes it lose its crispness, so a cool cupboard is a better choice than the refrigerator.
Can you freeze Beypazarı simit?
Yes, Beypazarı simit can be frozen after it has cooled. Seal it well to protect it from freezer moisture; after thawing, a brief warm-up in the oven can help bring back some of its crisp texture.
Can you make Beypazarı simit crunchy again after it softens?
Yes, warming softened Beypazarı simit briefly in the oven can help restore its crispness. Keep an eye on it so it does not burn; a microwave tends to soften bread rather than make it crunchy.

What is Beypazarı simit?
