Istiklal Simit Firini

The bakery, Istiklal Simit Fırını, located in Ulugazi, Istiklal Cd. No:12, 55030 İlkadım, Samsun, is renowned for its exceptional simit. The video describes the simit as having a perfect balance between its crunchy exterior and soft interior, thanks to it being soaked in pekmez (grape molasses) before baking. The quality of the ingredients, including the sesame seeds, is emphasized. The bakery also serves a local delicacy called 'atom', which is basically a type of meringue with a caramelized layer, unique to Samsun. Both foods are highly appreciated for their unique textures and flavors.
