1. 1Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 2Step 2: In a large bowl, add the eggs, sugar, orange juice, avocado oil, vinegar, vanilla, orange blossom, sesame, anise and caraway seeds and mix until well combined.
3. 3Step 3: Add the baking powder, salt and gradually add the flour, mixing in one cup at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky and comes together. (Depending on the kitchen temperature, the amount of flour needed can change. My recipe calls for 6 cups, but I only added 5 cups.)
4. 4Step 4: Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
5. 5Step 5: Form into two logs, then cut each log into three parts (balls).
6. 6Step 6: Take one ball of dough and roll into a 2 inch log and cut into 1 inch wide pieces.
7. 7Step 7: Take each piece and roll into a strand about 5 inches long. With the back tip of a knife (the dull side, not the sharp side) cut small slits into the dough to make a diagonal pattern. Connect the two ends of the strand and close the circle. Press in to the closure with an almond.
