Soak the dried figs in water for about 1 hour, then drain.
Cut the drained figs into bite-size pieces.
Beat the milk and egg together, then add the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast and mix into a dough.
Once everything comes together in one mass, add the butter and knead for about 15 minutes.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Punch down the risen dough with your fist to release the air, then mix in the figs.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces, roll into balls, and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Place the dough in a preheated waffle maker.
Close the waffle maker and bake until golden.
Tips
The figs are naturally sweet, so these are plenty tasty without any sauce.
Make the dough and let it rise while the figs soak to save time.
