hahaha It took me a few tries to get them right too at first. The more you make them, the better they will look. But, most important thing is flavor, always :)
Thanks for the tip! And yes, these were really "pseudo simitia" 😂, but they made my aunt happy - she had three in a row. The next batch (for myself) will definitely be crust-centric.
We love simitia! I've tried making them a few times, but they've never turned out quite right. Will definitely give it another try, thanks!
Hi there! Ah that's a shame... Do make these, they are truly delicious. :) And so fun to make too.
They look super yummy! I'll have to work on my shaping and braiding - my rings are all wonky 😝

Made a practice batch of mini simitia today, so I could work on my braiding - still not very neatly done, especially the joint 🥵.
They also lack the golden crust of yours, cos my aunt asked for something softer that wouldn't need any chewing.
Can't seem to post photos here, otherwise you could have a good laugh at my rather wonky simitia ☺️.
Practice makes perfect :) Put a little water at the ends of the dough before you seal it. It should work.
As for the crust, I have to say the koulouria are not the same without it. You need that crunch, and the flavor of the petimezi.
