Frequently Asked Questions About Homemade simit (with chickpeas, curd, egg, tahini, oats)
What is homemade simit made with chickpeas?
Homemade simit with chickpeas is a baked, ring-shaped alternative made with chickpeas, curd, egg, tahini and oats. It differs from traditional sesame-crusted simit, and despite being made at home, this version is classified as processed.
How is homemade simit different from traditional Turkish simit?
Homemade simit in this recipe uses chickpeas, curd, egg, tahini and oats instead of the usual yeasted wheat dough. It tends to be denser and less chewy than bakery simit, which is shaped from dough and commonly coated with sesame.
How do you make homemade simit with chickpeas?
Mash cooked, well-drained chickpeas, then mix them with curd, egg, tahini and oats. Shape the mixture into rings and bake until set and browned; draining the chickpeas well helps keep the dough from becoming too wet.
Can you use canned chickpeas for homemade simit?
Yes, canned chickpeas work in homemade simit. Drain and rinse them thoroughly before mashing, since extra liquid can make the mixture difficult to shape; mash them until smooth so they bind evenly with the other ingredients.
Why does homemade simit turn out dense?
Homemade simit is naturally denser than traditional bakery simit because chickpeas and oats replace much of the airy, yeasted wheat dough. If the mixture is especially heavy, check that the chickpeas are well mashed and that the oats have not been overpacked.
How do you keep sesame seeds on homemade simit?
Brush the shaped homemade simit lightly with beaten egg, then press sesame seeds onto the surface before baking. Sprinkling seeds on without a coating or pressing them in can leave more of them loose after baking.
Does homemade simit dough need to rise?
No, this homemade simit recipe does not need to rise because its listed ingredients do not include yeast. The egg helps bind the mixture, while chickpeas and oats create a compact texture rather than the airy crumb of traditional simit.
How should you store homemade simit?
Let homemade simit cool completely, then keep it in a covered container at room temperature. Sealing it while warm can trap moisture and soften the crust; freeze any pieces you want to keep for longer.
Can you freeze homemade simit?
Yes, homemade simit freezes well. Cool it completely, wrap the pieces separately and place them in an airtight freezer container; thaw and warm them in the oven before serving to improve the texture.
Is homemade simit filling?
Yes, the protein and fiber in chickpeas, curd and oats can make homemade simit more filling than a plain refined-flour roll. Pairing it with other foods and choosing a portion that suits your meal also matter.

What is Homemade simit (with chickpeas, curd, egg, tahini, oats)?
Homemade simit is a home-style take on the sesame-ring bread associated with Turkey, made here with chickpeas, curd cheese, egg, tahini and oats. Compared with a classic bakery simit, this version can be softer and more substantial inside, with a gently nutty flavour from the chickpeas and tahini.
