Simit (Turkish Bread Rings)
- 8 ounces plain white flour (225g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces margarine (50g) or 2 ounces butter (50g)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 ounce sesame seeds (25g) or 1 ounce poppy seed, approximately (25g)
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
- In a bowl, mix the flour and salt together, and make a well in the middle.
- Melt the margarine/butter, then mix with the oil, milk, water and egg.
- Pour the egg mixture into the well in the flour, and mix well to form a dough.
- Shape the dough into rings about 4" in diameter.
- Grease baking sheet, and lay the rings on it.
- Brush the rings with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- I think these are best eaten hot or while still warm.
