Turkish simit bun
4 servings
90 minutes
In Turkey, bagels are made on every corner, and they are all generously sprinkled with sesame seeds. They are easy to make, but the dough will take a total of one and a half hours to rise. Simits are especially good for breakfast, with butter, jam and strong spiced coffee.
