BAKE ISTANBUL'S ICON YOURSELF

Istanbul's indispensable street icon is now coming from your hands. From kneading dough to taking it out of the oven, from sesame coating to seeing the final result - and finally tasting your hot simits together with cheese, olives, tomatoes at a breakfast table.

Learn the technique behind that classic crispy outer surface. Dip in molasses water, roll in sesame, shape the perfect ring. The warm, fresh smell spreading while simits bake becomes a moment you can't take home but will never forget.
