Gevrek is the name given to simit in Izmir and its surroundings; it is made by shaping leavened dough into a ring, coating it with sesame seeds, and baking it. Compared to Istanbul simit, it is usually thinner and crispier. It is common in the region for breakfast and as a street food.
Where It's Used
