Merry Christmas with Greek Diples

In a mixer’s bowl add  flour, eggs, olive oil, salt, sugar and beat with the hook attachment at medium speed for 1-2 minutes. The mixture will not be shaped nicely in the mixer.

Remove and keep kneading with your hands.

As soon as you shape the dough with your hands, transfer it back to the mixer and beat for 1-2 minutes. If the dough is too thick, add -optionally- the water.

Cut into 5 pieces, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Place a frying pan with  seed oil over medium heat and let it get very hot.

Dust your working surface with flour and place one of the dough pieces on it.

Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a very thin sheet. Cut into pieces and transfer them to the hot oil. Fry for 1 minute until golden.

Remove and transfer to paper towels. Follow the same process for all the dough pieces.

In a pot add sugar, water, cinnamon sticks, lemon juice, honey and boil them over high heat.

Remove from the heat and dip the baked rolls for 5 seconds.

Sprinkle them with honey and walnuts.
