Moustokouloura Recipe
Yield: 24 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
Karen Mintzias,
3 1/2 cup: All-purpose flour plus extra for kneading,
2 tsp: Baking soda,
1 tbsp: Freshly ground cinnamon,
1 tbsp: Freshly ground cloves,
1/4 cup: Mild olive oil,
2 tbsp: Honey,
1/2 cup: Petimezi, (Greek wine must syrup) OR- Italian vino cotto OR- Honey
1/2: Orange, (grated zest)
1 cup: Orange juice,
Directions:
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.
