To make this Fig-Filled Swirl, you will need the following ingredients:

For the dough:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast

For the fig filling:

- 1 cup dried figs, chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
To make the dough, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and yeast. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
To make the fig filling, combine the chopped figs, honey, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the figs are soft and the mixture has thickened.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape and spread the fig filling evenly over the surface. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into slices. Place the slices in a greased baking dish and let them rise for 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
The Fig-Filled Swirl is a delicious pastry that is perfect for any occasion. The soft and fluffy dough is complemented by the sweet and tangy fig filling, creating a perfect balance of flavors. This dish is best served warm and can be enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea.
