The cupcake turns out moderately sweet and crumbly. I leave it in a tightly sealed container overnight, and in the morning it turns into a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth dessert.

Turkish bagel simit

«To the Turks, simit – what baguette is to the French. It's not just a bread. It's a way of life. They start their mornings with simit, they eat simit at noon and get a good energy boost... Crunchy sesame, slightly sweet browned crust, incredibly tender «creamy» crumb – for the sake of simit, it is worth it to mess with the dough! Especially since the process is not very long and complicated.

The dough is very quick to prepare, the only skill required is to roll the roll into a braid and a ring. But even that is harder to describe than to do. The dough is moderately sweet and moderately fluffy, but flavorful and tender. In general, for a family tea party – very worthy company.
