When I was in Greece, breakfast consisted of Greek yogurt, honey, greek bagels fresh figs. Pure heaven 🌺🌺🌺

Wish you soon to have your kouloure shops all over the world and give people more taste of Greece ❣️ Love you Akis.....👏👏👏

Ooh la la!! Love them soo much and it’s popular in some Arab countries plus Turkey. And instead of using sugar bath they use molasses bath for dipping pieces of dough rings. Mmm.. the seeds went down the drain!! Um.. I would let the seeds go off my fingers into the sugar bath then after I’m finished I’ll pour the water onto some ground where birds can eat them!🤗 But what if I had no ground? 🤔 Um.. I could pass it through a seive, wash the seeds then dry them for another time. 🤗 Watch how-to’s, folks to appreciate food better. It’s not an easy process getting sesame seeds.

Love you Akis 💕my favorite country in the whole world! I lived in Greece 4 years.

[@aygunbayramova4836]

Thanks Akis) you're one of my fav chefs . It reminded me Turkish simit)) Keep going on))

[@nmilapost1]

Hi, Akis. My home town is Thessaloniki too, my mother used to put a full soup spoon of tahini in the dough. Really delicious.

[@MIGHTYRIVERS19]

YES WHAT A GOOD IDEA , THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR MUM SECRET

Remembering ME EGYPTIAN 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬 simit

[@debbieflorio4357]

Thanks so much for the recipe! My husband is from Thessoloniki and loves these. When we lived in NY we were able to get them at the Greek store if you got there early enough before they sold out. Since we moved down south I had to learn to make a lot of Greek and NY specialty items. This was the first recipe for Koulouri I tried and they came out amazing! My husband said they were the best he has tasted. The only thing I did differently was take the suggestion of an earlier commenter and added a Tbsp of tahini and I sprayed the oven walls with water to create steam for a crispier crust

[@ShakhnozaU]

OMG has anyone noticed Uzbek(istan) national BOWL on his counter??? :) Thank you Akis!

[@8nansky528]

I ADORE READING

[@meggie.17]

Kuluri's are my favourite.... Thank you for the recepie ;-)

[@JenniferChurch]

My nephew and I recently had simit in Kusadasi Turkey, and then a Thessolaniki bagel in Greece. We loved them, so I was thrilled to find this channel and recipe. I made these today. While I love to cook, baking is usually not my strong suite, but these were so easy and delicious! I think these are going to become a regular thing in this house. And for anyone like me that thought that seemed like a lot of yeast... Nope, it was perfect.

[@dejanpocuc962]

Hello AKIS I just want say, thank you for the positive vibes and all the recipes that you gave us!! Much love from Serbia!!!

[@Frederic1406]

It reminds me of simit from Turkey. I have not been to Greece yet but I am curious to try that! It is interesting to see how the geographical proximity, the Ottoman ruling, the different religions coming with different food prohibitions, have created modern cuisines which are similar and with a different twist at the same time (Modern Greece / Modern Turkey).

[@user-bn7vn4qu7o]

simit mean s Jewish product ....with love from Greece

[@ms.waterkoker6744]

@@user-bn7vn4qu7o simit is originally from Istanbul. 15th century archives show us that it was a already being consumed in Istanbul by the ottomans at that time period. The Eastern European bagels are different to simit. So simit has nothing to do with jews

[@JenniferChurch]

I believe it's one of those things, like baklava, that Greece and Turkey battle over the ownership of.

[@lydiad9575]

A Recipe which everyone should try 👍 Akis im glad you came up with some lovely tasty Bagels 🤩

[@Sgape]

My γιαγιά used to put honey instead of sugar in the dough and the water for the crust 😋

[@nicolaside2481]

Right. I also seen that we can use petimezi instead of honey or sugared water. 😊 zito i ellada !!😁🤗

[@theresabagley5242]

I NEED TO TRY THIS!!!!!

[@insmallportions]

Loved eating these bagels when I was in Greece so I was excited to try this recipe. I made them last weekend, surprisingly easy and so so tasty. They did not last long in our house 😄

[@angrypotato_fz]

Yay! I like it the most when you cook something Greek! :) (even though it's just yeast bread with sesame seeds ;))

[@susantunbridge4612]

This looks wonderful. I have never been to Greece, but love Greek food (and art/art history). We always knew in Montréal that Greek restaurants, or any kind of restaurant owned by Greeks would be a superior restaurant. Same holds true in other parts of Canada, they just do food really well. I'd like to try this one, but I've only ever seen cooked lobster used in recipes. Typically in Canada live lobster is put into boiling water, which is cruel; so if it can be done without that process, it's great. I live in western Canada now, so I'm really picky about where I get the seafood, and I only trust one place, so I'll have to ask them about it.

[@foodmenuvlogs7385]

Superb and delicious 👍👍👍👍👍😋😋

That's cute Greek bracelets with a hook attachment they do look delicious though 😉 😻

My favorite were the big bagels but they were dark brown. You soaked them in water and then put feta and oil on them. It was like a normal bagel but the color of pumpernickel. Was very good but can't find any in North America.

Can you do loukoumades, Akis??

[@scottrezajafarian2502]

The most interesting thing is that Turkey and Greece are so familiar and they have a lot of similar food, but they call it different things! This is the exact same thing as Simit that is sold in Turkey like in every intersection for about 25 cents! (1 Lira)...

[@Anti_Electron]

can i leave the dough overnight,so i can prepare my bagels at the morning?

[@akispetretzikisen]

No

[@elenagonzalez1710]

This is very similar of Turkish simit. Am I right.?

[@wakeno.6047]

It is the same, it may have different versions in each region, but it's the same. Koulouri or Simit ,was created first time during ottoman empire, in constantinople (instabul) , most bakeries were owned by Greeks, so during the wars, Greeks that came from there as refugees, brought the recipe also in northern Greece and then it spread.

Man we have only one opportunity to make them stand, and you call them 'Greek Bagels'? This is Koulouri !!! No bagel, Koulouri !!! OK?

[@sakisgr1396]

I guess he needs to localize the term so that foreigners maybe understand what these are similar to…I agree though. Koulouria are nothing like Bagels…

[@PetraKann]

They’re not bagels - they are κουλουρια

[@Eleidig007]

These look like Jerusalem bagels lol

[@AnthonyBerkshire]

Greek bagel? Are you sure that this is greek and not more turkish?

[@sakisgr1396]

Are you sure the land Turks inhabit wasn’t inhabited for thousands of years before Turks arrived in that region of the world & Turks then assimilated all kinds of natives & their cuisines?… Just a thought….

[@sakisgr1396]

[@mahsuncimen]

You mean "SİMİT"?!?

[@serenityprincess6546]

Basically Turkish simit

[@sakisgr1396]

Just cause you experienced something similar in Turkey doesn’t make it basically anything Turkish… Turks assimilated dishes of natives including native Greeks (who lived and cooked foods for thousands of years prior to Turks invading the region). The skilled artisans were the ones who taught crafts to the nomadic Turks since they were forced to do so by Sultans, similarly with cuisine… Just a thought…
