Break the kel ring breads into large bites and spread them on a wide serving plate.
Bring the bone broth to the boil in a small pot and add half of the salt.
Drizzle the hot bone broth gradually over the ring bread pieces, so the bread softens without floating like soup on the plate.
Whisk the yogurt with crushed garlic and spread it in a thin layer over the breads.
Brown the ground beef in a pan with the remaining salt and black pepper for 12 minutes, until crumbly.
Spread the browned beef over the yogurt.
Foam the butter with red pepper flakes for 60 seconds and drizzle the hot butter over the simit tiridi.
Wait 3 minutes so the bone broth settles into the bread, then serve hot.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find Kastamonu kel simit, use a firm ring bread; very fresh bread turns doughy when it absorbs the meat stock.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve simit tiridi hot on a plate, with pickles, roasted peppers, and ayran if desired, like a lunch dish.
