Dawn's Simit Symphony: Bakery Chronicles

#wheretogo As the first light of dawn painted the sky, I ventured to the timeless embrace of a traditional Turkish bakery established in 1954. The aroma of freshly baked simit, a golden halo of sesame seeds encrusting its surface, beckoned me. With each bite, the crisp exterior yielded to a warm, fluffy interior, a testament to the artisanal craft perfected over generations. The ambient murmur of early risers echoed stories of shared laughter and whispered dreams. A steaming glass of Turkish tea, fragrant and comforting, accompanied the ritual—a moment suspended in time. In that historic bakery, where tradition met the dawn, I found solace in the simplicity of a morning nurtured by decades of tradition.
