Instructions

1. First, stir together oil, water, milk, sugar, salt and yeast until the yeast, salt and sugar have dissolved. Then gradually add flour until the day is soft but not sticky.
2. Then heat the oven to 50 ° C, then switch it off again, cover the dough and let it rise for 30 minutes.
3. Form a snake out of the dough and divide into 10 pieces of approx. 90 g each. Then let it rise again for about 15 minutes. Don`t forget to cover.
4. In the meantime, brown the sesame seeds in a pan without fat and set aside. Warning, it pops like popcorn, but that`s okay. Mix the syrup with the water in a deep plate.
5. Preheat the oven to 190 ° C top / bottom heat.
6. Shape the dough pieces into very thin snakes and tie them together. Press the ends of the cord together and first bathe the simit in the syrup and then roll it in the sesame seeds. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes and then wrap in a tea towel to cool so that they do not become hard.
7. They taste good with both sweet and savory toppings and can also be frozen well.
