Knuspr-Küche
Eine geniale Verschmelzung zweier Klassiker: Außen der nussig-knusprige Sesamrand eines traditionellen Istanbuler Simits, innen ein reichhaltig belegter, geschmolzener Kern aus mild-würzigem Käse und aromatischen Kirschtomaten. Perfekt für das herbstliche Abendessen oder einen geselligen Brunch!
Preparation method
Dough Preparation
Dissolve the fresh yeast in a bowl with 170 ml of lukewarm water and 1 tsp of liquid honey, then let rest for 5 minutes until slight bubbles form.
Add the wheat flour Type 405, 1 tsp of fine table salt, and 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Knead vigorously for at least 6–8 minutes into a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30–40 minutes, until doubled in volume.
Shaping & Simit Crust
Preheat the oven together with the baking sheet to 220 °C top/bottom heat. In a shallow dish, stir the remaining liquid honey with 2 tbsp of warm water. Place the sesame seeds on a second shallow dish.
Chef's tip
The honey-water mixture (traditionally pekmez/grape molasses in Turkey) provides the authentic simit aroma, giving the sesame seeds an irresistibly nutty sweetness and golden-brown color during baking.
For an even heartier flavor, you can also distribute a few slices of sucuk (garlic sausage) or pickled peppers on top of the cheese together with the tomatoes.
