Simit; The Legendary Turkish Bagel, which has a history of about 600 years, can be called a food unique to Turkey. It is a ring-shaped bread, scattered with sesame seeds. Instead of being boiled like a bagel, the twisted circles of dough get a quick dip in molasses before dredging in sesame seeds.

The result is a crisp exterior and a light, delicate, and tender interior providing a delicious contrast in texture. They are sold on every street corner in Turkey and are popular for breakfast or as a snack with a cup of Turkish tea.
