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

  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.
