Kim,
My family makes a raisin and anise bread from my italian grandmother.
I could imagine that a fig and anise bread would taste great.
When I make mine I usually use about 4 lbs of flour in a wet dough
and use about 1/3 cup anise seeds and about 1 lb of raisins. I'd
start with about the same proportions and use chopped dried figs. I
usually mix up my dough, let it stand about 15 minutes then work in
the seeds and raisins. Let it rise, shape it into 2 loaves, let it
rise and then bake.
hope this helps
