1. 1

   Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves into a large bowl, making a well in the center.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Mix together to make a dough, adding the remaining orange juice as necessary.

4. 4

   Turn onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth but not stiff.

5. 5

   Cover with a cloth and leave to relax for 30 minutes or longer.

6. 6

   Break off pieces of dough, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and roll into snakes about 1/2-inch in diameter.

7. 7

   Press the two ends together, forming oval wreaths, and place on an oiled or non-stick baking sheet.

8. 8

   Bake in an oven preheated to 375 F for 10-15 minutes- until they are brown and crunchy, but not too hard.
