SIMITS
This bread comes from my Turkish heritage and they are commonly eaten for breakfast. You'll find them sold from street carts where the rings are hung on racks for display. They are not boiled like regular bagels, but dipped in molasses and sesame seeds which gives a chewy texture similar to the bagel we know and love. - Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

BUTTERMILK RUSKS
A crunchy, crumbly bread/biscuit snack best eaten with a cup of tea! This recipe makes a huge batch of rusks - I usually cut it by half and I still get about 100 rusks (though I have never actually counted).
