A simit is a sesame seed-crusted bread with fluffier interior that found across the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire, and the Middle East. In İzmir, simit is known as gevrek, although it is very similar to the İstanbul variety.
Simits are often sold by street vendors, who either have a simit trolley or carry the simit in a tray on their head. Of course, Simit Sarayı which becomes an internationally known brand is the most famous place to get a fresh simit anytime you want.
