Alex Bettler's Bread Workshop

January 22nd, 2011
Istanbul, Turkey

We hosted the Turkey edition of Alex Bettler's Bread Workshop. He was interested in the way that the simit could act as a means of communication, like a newspaper, when it is distributed through the street carts. He brought two recipes to choose from, Simit and an Irish Soda bread. Over 25 of us made the dough, shaped it and brought it to the neighboring Pide Restaurant, whose stone oven was still hot from lunch. Yum!
