3 1/2	cups	flour, all-purpose	plus extra for kneading
2	teaspoons	baking soda
1	tablespoon	cinnamon	freshly ground
1	tablespoon	cloves	freshly ground
1/4	cup	olive oil	mild
2	tablespoons	honey
1/2	cup	wine	petimezi, or italian vino cotto, or honey
1/2	Orange;	orange	grated, zest
1	cup	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.

Very good, the meat (chuck roast ) came out very tender, the flavor excellent.
