Starter dough

Mix the flour, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Mix in the milk and oil, knead to form a firm dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 30 mins.

Dough

Add the flour, salt and milk to the starter dough, knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.

To shape

Divide the dough into 5 portions. Shape each portion of dough into a thin roll approx. 1 m long. Fold each roll in half, twist and shape into a ring. Roll the ends over the work surface a little so that they seal.

Sesame coating

Place the water and sugar in a bowl, stir until the sugar has dissolved. Empty the sesame seeds into a deep dish. Dip the simits one after the other in the sugar syrup and then in the sesame seeds, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover and leave to rise for approx. 30 mins.

To bake

Approx. 25 mins. in an oven preheated to 180°C (convection). Remove the simits from the oven, leave to cool on a cooling rack.
