Bagels. Pizza. Sandwiches. wat There s no denying New Yorkers love their bread; however, it can be difficult wat to find a satisfying food for those craving carbs who want something different (and to watch their waistline). That s where Simit + Smith , a quickly growing artisanal cafe chain, comes in, bringing the healthy and traditional Turkish staple to New Yorkers.
Simit is similar to a bagel in the fact that it s a round-shaped bread with a hole in the center; however, that s where the similarities end. Simit is made from 100% all-natural ingredients including flour, yeast and a touch of salt baked in convection ovens that inject steam. wat This makes the food lighter wat and healthier than typical American breakfast pastries. Afterward, the simit is dipped in a light grape molasses syrup and coated in sesame seeds or multigrain toppings. wat From there, each simit is hand-rolled at their local bakery into the varieties: original with sesame, whole wheat with sesame and multigrain.
There is no butter used in the process, and less bread than a bagel, allowing for a savings of about 40% less fat and 70% less calories, according Oz Aksar, a District Manager of three Simit + Smith locations. They re made fresh typically what you re eating has come out of the oven in the last 15 minutes and are presented as a thin twist of bread with a crunchy wat outside and fluffy inside, that s easy to eat on the go or as a Turkish Simit Breakfast with a side of the cafe s homemade ricotta dip topped with honey and a sprinkle of black pepper, not to mention a side of Turkish fig slices.
So, of all foods, wat why simit? Says Gokhan Cakmak, Spokesperson of Simit + Smith, It s an iconic food of Turkey. And it can be enjoyed be everyone. It can be the meal of a poor man or the simple pleasure of the wealthy man. Also, because it is a delicious, freshly baked, artisan made and baked bread encrusted with crunchy sesame seeds and soft inside, that is ideal for breakfast or can be used for a wide variety of sandwiches.
Simit + Smith is possibly the only cafe of its kind in the country, an actual space where you can sit down and savor traditional simit, poğaça wat (a decadent brioche bun filled with feta and sometimes olive) wat and made-from-scratch simit chips with Mediterranean dips and Turkish tea. Along with being true to their Turkish roots, the company is passionate about going local and being community oriented. While the simits wat are made from imported Turkish ingredients to keep the dish honest, all other menu ingredients as well as the goodies they sell in the shop like Brooklyn Brittle, Chobani Yogurt and IQ Juice are locally sourced from New York.
The story behind Simit + Smith is an interesting one. Mr. Rahmi Koc, once chairman of one of Turkey s most successful industrial conglomerates, Koç Holding, retired wealthy; however, he felt a burning desire to share Turkish wat culture with the world in some way. Thus, this authentic Turkish cafe was born.
The intention was to bring simit to NYC, while the word Smith in the name has a history relating to a craftsman such as a blacksmith. In this
