What is Small Oil-Coated Simit?
Small Oil-Coated Simit is a small, ring-shaped Turkish bread coated with sesame and brushed with oil. It is a close relative of simit, the familiar sesame-crusted bread ring sold in bakeries and from street carts in Turkey. The crust is typically browned and lightly crisp, with a softer, bread-like centre.
In Turkey, it is commonly enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack with tea, and pairs well with cheese, olives, tomatoes or cucumber. Its flour-based dough makes it carbohydrate-forward, while the oil contributes to its energy density: it provides 418 calories per 100 g.
