The Sultan`s gift simit since Ottoman- The simit, also known as "sesame kebab" and "gevrek", which has been consumed and consumed since the Ottoman period and whose preparation varies according to regions and cities, continues to be the most important snack between meals.
Simit is made in Bursa, one of the cities where it is heavily consumed, with the methods that were used for centuries.
Simit, which are sold in the stadium circles on match days, are among the top products in inflation evaluations and sometimes used by the unions to protest, are among the most preferred foods for breakfast and snacks between the rich and the poor.
Even though it has changed hands in many bakeries operating in Bursa, simit has been produced continuously for several centuries. This product is known as "Simit". The feature that distinguishes the Simit from the simits made in other regions and provinces is that the dough is kept in boiling molasses for a while after turning it into rings.
The Simit, which is kept in molasses for a few minutes, is put on the market after it is cooked in a wood fire oven for 20 minutes after it has been soaked in plenty of sesame.
Gürsel Kavan, who runs a bakery in the city, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that the taste of cauldron bagel is different from those made in other regions and cities.
Explaining that this is both nutritious and satisfying and does not cause weight gain problems like hamburgers and other fast food, Kavan said, "The quality of Bursa cauldron comes from high quality flour, local sesame and fig molasses. "We changed it first and started using molasses instead of sugar."
The history of the bagel:
According to the information provided in some historical sources, the history of simit dates back to the 14th century.
In the Üsküdar Şeriye Registry, which dates back to 1593, a kind of ring-shaped bread made of genuine flour was named "simid-i ring".
During the reign of Sultan Süleyman the 2nd, it was written in a kitchen notebook that 30 Simit were allocated to the palace a day in addition to buns and bread.
In addition, it is known that some sultans were given Simit to the soldiers who were on the road after their iftar dinner during Ramadan. Therefore, Turkish Simit is valued enough to be regarded as "the gift of the sultan".
Described by some Greek historians as a food item known before the Prophet Jesus, simid has many masters in the "Epirus" region on the Greece-Albania border.
It is estimated that the white and differently cooked variety of simit came to the Ottomans via the Balkans, so the boiler bagel unique to Bursa was first made by migrants from Albania.
