Ingredients to make 9 crispy bagels
1.5 cups of cold water, as shown here
600 grams of flour
8 grams of dry yeast
10 grams of granulated sugar
10 grams of salt
1 spoon of soft butter
Half a glass of sugar and less than 1 glass of water to make bagel sauce
plenty of raw sesame seeds
a large dough bowl

Prepare the bagel sauce before kneading the dough
Add a steel pot to the stove over medium heat and add sugar
Wait for the sugar to burn to brown, no need to stir
turn off the fire and add water, I can indicate that this water is cold
Boil the bagel sauce a little,
Boil for 1, 2 minutes and leave the boiling sauce on the balcony to cool
add cold water first to the dough
add dry yeast
here you see 8 grams of salt, then added a little more salt, add 10 grams of salt
Add 10 grams of sugar
mix until the salt, sugar and yeast dissolve
add half of the flour first
Add the soft butter and mix
Add the rest of the flour and start kneading the dough by hand.
knead until you have a firm and elastic dough
In the pastry-style bagel making, unlike this dough, milk and eggs are added into it, they are two different doughs and different bagels.
Street Simit should be hard and crispy, patisserie style Simit should be soft, in a pastry consistency
You can see how many grams of dough is
Let the dough stand a little, it will be enough to wait 10 minutes, it will not wait until it is completely fermented.
Bagel dough should be at least 100 grams, can be made up to 150 grams, divide the dough into equal parts
Since the dough is 945 grams in total, if 105 gram pieces are made, 9 bagels can be made.

roll the dough and let it sit for 5 - 10 minutes
You can start giving a bagel shape to the dough without waiting too long.
First, prepare the dough by pressing and rolling it with your hands to a length of 15 centimeters.
at the second stage, stretch the dough 2 times more and it will reach a length of 30 centimeters.
you cannot shape this dough too long at a time, it will retract like a rubber,
at the third stage, bring the dough to a length of 60 - 70 cm.
Finally, this process is completed when the doughs reach a length of 1 meter.
Connect the two ends of the stretched dough and wrap the dough and form a knit
join the ends and glue well, tie so that it does not open up later
After giving the dough the shape of a bagel, it is sauced and sesame is done.
Bagel sauce needs to be completely cooled, if you are in the summer, leave it in the fridge.
Add the dough in the shape of bagel to the bagel sauce.
Add the sauced dough to the sesame seeds and cover completely with sesame seeds
place baking paper on a baking sheet, not necessarily paper, the bagels will not stick as they are completely sesame seeds
Prepare the dough in the same thickness by squeezing it with your hand and add it to the tray.
You can dry the soaked sesame and use it again later.

set the oven setting to 200 degrees
add the bagels and cook for 20 minutes
Tea is indispensable for bagels,
Frankly I tried to eat bagels with fruit juice, cola or coffee, none of them replaced tea.
For Turkish tea, water is boiled well and the fire is turned off.
After the high temperature is gone, the dried tea is added on top of the water,
After waiting 10 minutes, the tea is ready to be drunk.
In summary, after waking up in the morning, a sauce was prepared immediately and a low yeast dough was made.
the dough was cut into pieces of 105 grams and 1 meter long shapes were given to the dough without waiting too long.
bagel dough dipped in sauces then completely covered with sesame seeds
Baked in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees and crispy bagels prepared for breakfast
Place breakfast items such as tea, cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers next to it and eat it with pleasure.
I can say that it is good with sweet products such as chocolate, jam, tahini and molasses #turkishbagel #turkissimit #simit
