A simit (Turkish) or koulouri (Greek: κουλούρι) is a circular bread with sesame seeds, very common in Turkey and Greece. The exact size, crunchiness/chewiness, etc. tend to vary by region. In the city of Izmir, simit is known as "gevrek," (literally, 'crisp') although it is very similar to the Istanbul variety.
