What is Simit Aç Bitir?

Simit Aç Bitir is a packaged, ready-to-eat version of simit, the sesame-covered ring bread sold by bakeries and street vendors across Turkey. Its dough is usually soft and chewy inside, with a lightly crisp crust and a toasted sesame flavour. As a packaged product, it may be less crisp than a freshly baked simit.
