Place in the refrigerator. | 5. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the figs, raisins, candied orange, almonds, chocolate, apricot preserve, rum, cinnamon, and cloves. Pulse the blade until a smooth compound is obtained. | 6. Transfer the fig paste to a bowl. | 7. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). | 8. Prepare the egg wash by beating the eggs with a pinch of salt. | 9. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and unwrap it on a floured work surface. Add a small quantity of flour. Knead the dough to make it soft and smooth. | 10. Cut the dough into 10 - 12 pieces. With the help of a rolling pin, flatten each piece into a rectangle approximately 3 x 15 inch (7 x 35 cm). | 11. Brush the egg wash on the dough. | 12. Place approximately 1/3 cup of filling in the center of the rectangle lengthwise. | 13. Take one edge of the dough and bring it over the filling to form a roll. | 14. With the palm of your hands roll the cylinder to make it even. | 15. Cut the roll into 4-5 pieces approximately 3 - 4 inch (8 - 10 cm) long. Set them aside. Continue forming the rolls until all the dough and the filling are used. | 16. Using a sharp knife, cut 4 - 5 diagonal incisions on the surface of the rolls. You can also cut straight incisions on the surface of the rolls, and curve the cookies in a "U" shape. | 17. Transfer the rolls to 3 cookie pans lined with parchment paper. | 18. Brush the surface with the remaining egg wash. | 19. Optionally sprinkle with multicolored nonpareil. | 20. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden. Transfer onto racks to cool. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
