Step 1

Mix four with baking powder after screening them carefully.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, start whisking the olive oil with the sugar and gradually add the remaining ingredients (except for the juice and the baking soda).

Step 3

Be careful to add the orange juice after you’ve mixed it with the baking soda and it’s started bubbling.

Step 4

Finally, add the flour mix to the liquids and continue whisking by hand, using a spatula.

Step 5

The dough should be a tad wet and easily kneaded. Make small doses of about 5 cm in diameter. Make sure to make small holes using a fork.

Step 6

Bake for 25 minutes and let them cool for about an hour.

Step 7

In a pot, pour water, honey, sugar, and the lemon and start mixing until it starts to boil (6/9 temperature). Once the mix has a brownish colour, lower the heat to about 2/9 and let the melomakarona sit for 20 seconds per side.

Step 8

Sprinkle with ground walnut or pistachio.
