Simit Bread
- Preparation time: 50 minutes, 70 minutes to prove
- Cooking time: 15-18 minutes
- Makes: 2 portions
Ingredients
- 125ml Renastep™ (1 bottle)
- 135g Strong white bread flour (a little extra flour will be needed for dusting)
- ½ tsp Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Fast action dried yeast
- 10g Sesame seeds
- 50ml Water
- ½ tbsp Pomegranate molasses or molasses syrup
Method
-
Warm the Renastep gently in a pan to no more than 30˚C. Meanwhile, mix the flour and sugar in a bowl.
-
Add the dried yeast and Renastep and mix well until a soft dough is formed.
-
Place the dough onto a clean work surface dusted with flour. Knead the dough for for 5 minutes until the dough feels stretchy.
-
Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover and leave to prove for an hour, until doubled in size.
-
Heat oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan/gas mark 6.
-
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan for 2-3 minutes until golden and set aside.
-
Mix the pomegranate molasses or molasses syrup with 50ml water in a shallow bowl.
-
When the dough has risen, roll out onto a clean, dusted work surface into a sausage shape about 45cm long and cut in half.
-
Place the two pieces lengthways together continuously twist them over each other for the full length of dough. Cut the twist into 2 equal pieces. Brush both sides with the molasses water.
-
Pour the toasted sesame seeds onto a piece of parchment paper and roll each twist of dough through the seeds until well covered. On a baking tray, join the ends of each twist to form two circles, cover and leave to prove for another 10 minutes.
-
When the bread has risen, uncover and bake for 15-18 mins until golden. Allow to cool before serving.
