cheap white wine (i typically use a chablis, however if you have the money, the better the quality of wine the better ), orange-flavored liqueur (triple sec, grand marnier, cointreau, gran gala), sugar, orange, sliced, fruit, sliced (see recipe description for suggestions)

active dry yeast (1 packet), warm water (110 to 115 f), warm buttermilk (110 to 115 f), eggs, at room temperature, colored hard-boiled eggs, orange, juiced, orange zest, fior di sicilia orange flower water (or better a combination of vanilla and orange extract) or 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (or better a combination of vanilla and orange extract), unbleached all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, unsalted butter, softened (1 stick), colored crystal sugar, for sprinkling

softened cream cheese, frozen spinach, thawed and drained, milk, garlic & onion powder, to taste, salt and pepper, to taste, parmesean or romano cheese, to taste, bacon bits, optional, egg, tubes refrigerated crescent rolls, kicked up version, i always buy bags of frozen chopped spinach. you can saute it with the seasonings , and have very little, if any liquid to drain. i like to saute with some onion and red pepper, both chopped fine, as well as a heaping tbsp of minced or chopped garlic. i like this better than the onion and garlic powder, however, those are good options that are quicker. i almost always add a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dash of worcestershire to anything using spinach. i usually add chopped fresh fried bacon instead of bacon bits. just wanted to post the original recipe as given to me by a friend for foodies who prefer the easier methods.

lukewarm water (90of to 100of), dry yeast or two 0.6-oz packages fresh yeast, crumbled, all purpose flour (i use king arthur bread flour), extra-virgin olive oil, coarse sea salt, note: i have found that adding anywhere from 1-2 tsp. of salt (table salt works just fine) to the flour while making the dough works as good or better than the coarse salt on top. it depends on your taste. i would suggest adding 1 tsp. of salt to the flour and maybe lightly adding the coarse salt before baking. or forgo the coarse salt altogether and add 1.5 tsp of salt to the flour for the dough. bread does needs salt to have a good taste., note 2: drizzle with olive oil before baking., note 3: you can knead with a little olive oil to keep from adding more flour and prevent dryness., add herbs of your choice and/or a grated favorite cheese. i have used rosemary, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, cracked black pepper, asiago, and parmesan in various combinations and it all worked out well.
