What is Sivas kazan simit?
Sivas kazan simit is a traditional ring-shaped bread associated with Sivas, in central Turkey. Made from dough, coated with sesame and baked, it is a regional take on simit rather than the thin, softer breads some people may picture. Its crust is pleasantly firm, with a close, chewy crumb.
In Turkey it is commonly eaten at breakfast or alongside tea, and can be paired with cheese, olives and fresh vegetables. Outside Turkey, it makes an easy savoury snack or bread accompaniment.
