Preparation
1. Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. First Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shaping and Baking
4. Shape the Simits
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and form a circle, pinching the ends to seal.
5. Prepare the Topping
In a shallow dish, pour grape molasses. In another dish, place sesame seeds. Dip each simit into the grape molasses then coat them with sesame seeds.
6. Final Rise
Place the coated simits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
