Place kanelozoumo, 1/2 cup flour, tsp or sugar, and yeast in a bowl and mix well. Allow yeast to proof for 5-10 minutes until frothy. 3. Add brown sugar, mahlepi, masticha, vanilla, bacon grease, and mix well. 4. Add the flour slowly and knead until you have a soft, pliable dough. 5. Cover dough and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size - about an hour. 6. Punch dough down and lightly knead. Divide into 12 pieces. 7. Roll one piece of dough out into about a 3" x 12" rectangle. lightly sprinkle with chocolate chips, and roll the bottom up to form a long tube of dough filled with chocolate chips. Roll the tube into a spiral so it looks like a snail. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and repeat with remaining dough pieces. 8. Cover, and allow artoulakia to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. 9. Bake in a preheated 350*F oven for 15-20 minutes until golden. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
