Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup dried golden figs, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tsp of sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.
  4. Mix chopped figs, walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and honey in a bowl to make the filling.
  5. Punch down dough and roll it into a 12×18 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  6. Spread the fig-walnut mixture evenly over the dough.
  7. Roll up tightly from the long edge and cut into 12 equal slices.
  8. Arrange slices in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Brush with melted butter while warm. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Soak figs in warm water for 10 minutes if too dry before chopping.
  • Add orange zest to the filling for a bright twist.
  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight before final bake.
