This recipe turns classic dough into a sweet-and-savory cookie, coating it in grape molasses and sesame seeds for a cookie-style take on simit. A sprinkle of nigella seeds adds a savory note, and the cookies stay crisp in a picnic basket for a long time.
Whisk the cooking oil with the grape molasses and warm water. Mix it with the flour, baking powder, and salt to form a smooth dough.
Take thin strips of dough and join the ends to make rings. Coat them in grape molasses, dip them in sesame seeds, and sprinkle with nigella seeds.
Arrange the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F for 20 minutes, until the edges darken.
Thin the grape molasses to a honey-like consistency and brush it on a little at a time; a coating that is too wet may spread in the oven and distort the shape. Do not extend the baking time; remove the cookies as soon as the edges darken. Allergens: contains gluten (flour) and sesame.
