Instructions
1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, melted butter, 2 eggs, egg yolk, sugar, 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and active dry yeast. Whisk until well blended.
2
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and attach the dough hook. Mix on low speed for about 5 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
3
Lightly coat a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in a warm, draft-free spot. Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
4
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with olive oil. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, roughly 16x12 inches with the longest edge parallel to the counter edge.
5
Spread the fig jam evenly over the dough, then layer on the slices of brie cheese and the salami. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of hot honey, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of chopped marcona almonds.
6
Starting from the longest edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight cylinder. Cut the rolled dough into twelve 1 1/2-inch rounds, placing them cut-side down in the prepared baking dish. Cover and let them rise for an additional 45 minutes.
7
Once risen, uncover the rolls and brush the tops with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of chopped rosemary over the rolls. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8
For serving, spread the additional cup of fig jam over the warm rolls. Drizzle with more hot honey and sprinkle with leftover chopped almonds. Serve these delicious rolls alongside olives, whole Marcona almonds, and fresh grapes on a platter.
