What is kandil simidi tarifi?

Kandil simidi tarifi refers to the recipe for making Kandil simidi, a traditional Turkish cookie-like bread that is typically served during religious holidays, particularly during Ramadan and Kandil nights. This recipe usually consists of simple ingredients, including flour, sugar, yeast, sunflower oil, milk, sesame seeds, and egg yolk.

To make Kandil simidi, the first step is to activate yeast by mixing it with sugar and warm water. Then, flour, sunflower oil, milk, and the yeast mixture are combined to form a dough. This dough is kneaded until it becomes smooth and elastic, then left to rest for about an hour.

After the resting period, the dough is shaped into long ropes, which are then twisted into the traditional simidi shape. The simidis are then brushed with egg yolk and sprinkled with sesame seeds before being baked until golden brown.

The resulting Kandil simidi is a crispy and buttery bread with a slightly sweet flavor and a nutty crunch from the sesame seeds. It is often served with tea or milk and can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
