Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 1/2 c All-purpose flour 1/2 c Petimezi
-plus extra for kneading -(Greek wine must syrup)
2 ts Baking soda -OR- Italian vino cotto
1 tb Freshly ground cinnamon -OR- Honey
1 tb Freshly ground cloves 1/2 Orange; (grated zest)
1/4 c Mild olive oil 1 c Orange juice
2 tb Honey

Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves into a
large bowl, making a well in the center. In a smaller bowl, beat the
olive oil with the honey, petimezi, grated orange zest, and 1/2 the
orange juice and pour into the well. Mix together to make a dough,
adding the remaining orange juice as necessary.

Turn onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the
dough is smooth but not stiff. Cover with a cloth and leave to relax
for 30 minutes or longer.

Break off pieces of dough, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and roll into
snakes about 1/2-inch in diameter. Press the two ends together,
forming oval wreaths, and place on an oiled or non-stick baking
sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 375 F for 10-15 minutes- until
they are brown and crunchy, but not too hard.
