I used half my remaining pizza dough for Koulouri/ simit this morning.
I took the dough out of the fridge and let it rest 30 minutes. I stretched and rolled the dough with my hands into a long snake. I cut that snake in 4 pieces, and rolled them between my hands until I had pieces that were around 10 inches long and 1 inch thick. I twisted these snake like pieces, and shaped them into rings or a pretzel. I let these rings and pretzel rest 45 minutes. I reshaped them a little then proceeded to dip them in a honey water solution, then I sprinkled them with sesame seeds.
I then preheated the oven to 375⁰ F with convection on. 400⁰ F( around 200 ⁰C) would be the equivalent without the convection.
Baked at 375 ⁰convection on for 15 minutes, broiler at 425 F for 1 min 45 seconds, internal temp was 205⁰F.
