Recipe for Moustokouloura - Original Nistisima Koulourakia

3 1/2 cups AP flour
2 tsp. Baking soda
1 Tbs. Ground cinnamon, fresh
1 Tbs. Ground cloves, fresh
1/4 cup mild olive oil
2 Tbs. Honey
1/2 cup grape must, petimezi, or more honey
Zest of 1/2 orange
1 cup orange juice
Directions:
Directions:
Sift together flour, soda and spices into a large bowl and make a well in the center. In smaller bowl beat together olive oil, honey, zest, grape must or petimezi and 1/2 cup orange juice. Pour into the well in large bowl and mix well. Use your hands to knead the dough, adding the remains orange juice as necessary. Continue kneading the dough, sprinkling more flour if needed. Dough should be stiff but silky. Cover with kitchen towel and allow to rest about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Take about 2 Tbs dough and roll to a 6” long rope, then form a ring by pinching the ends together. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes - until they are brown and crunchy but not too hard. I bake two rings first, leaving one for 12 minutes and the second for 15 to see what I like best. At 3,600ft elevation, 12 minutes is enough for me.
