I may have just outdone myself! These "pitta ‘mpigliata" (or "pitta 'nchiusa") are a traditional Christmas dessert from Calabria (the toe of Italy). The dough is made with red wine and olive oil, and the rosette-shaped cakes are filled with walnuts and raisins sweetened with honey. I learned about these from the family that owns Casa Mia in Marblehead.
