Kandil Simidi – Kandil-Kringel – *

The warm milk, yeast and sugar in a small baking bowl form and go.

Sift the flour into another baking bowl, press a bulge in the center and pour in the yeast mixture as soon as it becomes creamy. Stir in the flour from the sides and knead to form a dough.

Rise, then press together and add egg, butter, mahleb and salt. Prepare into a smooth dough, cover and leave in a warm place for an hour.

Divide the dough into pieces. Place each piece on a board or possibly in your hands at the beginning to form a long roll and then shape it into a curl.

Stir the egg yolks with a little water, turn the simits first in it and then in sesame seeds on the other side. Place them 1 cm apart on a greased baking sheet.

Bake in a heated oven at 200 °C (gas mark 4) for twenty minutes.

(*) These simits, which are baked during the religious Kandil holidays, have a special flavor that comes from mahleb. On Kandil days, the air outside bakeries and pastry shops is full of the fragrance of Kandil Simits, which creates a special festive atmosphere. Kandil Simidi goes well with salep.

(**) Mahleb is made from ground seeds of black cherries. It is used for flavoring bread and bakery products.
