I looked at the recipe and me being...well, me...I just threw everything into the bread machine and select #9, the "You apathetic sloth, I guess we're stuck doing all the work again, aren't we? you lazy cow" Dough option.
Went for a walk on the beach...

...and came back to a risen batch of dough.
I split the dough into four pieces, then took one of those and split that into four 4" balls which I finger-padded into flat-ish circles. Covered the tray with plastic wrap and let it rise again for 45 minutes.
I took another fourth and rolled it out to 8x4" rectangle. Spread that with Dyslexic sauce and sprinkled that with almond meal. Rolled it on the long side, put it into a sprayed gluten pan (narrower than a regular bread pan) and let it rise as well.
The other two "fourths" I wrapped in saran and tossed in the freezer just to remove the temptation of making MORE pastries. I doubt they'll be viable since they had already risen once. Oh well, for the time, effort and ingredients, I don't care if they aren't usable.
Took the Syrian apricot paste/cum leather and ripped off about a fourth. Added a splash of simple syrup, a bit of water and some lemon juice. Stirred on stove top until it (mostly) melted. Topped off the four kolaches and baked for 13 minutes.
Chocolate rolled bread took another 5 minutes.
Both were very tasty with a pot of hot English tea! Thanks again.
(You can see from the photo that the right side of the pan was next to the tall gluten pan. I probably should have rotated it, but...well, read the first sentence again.)
