2. When the brew is warm, prepare the starter. Pour sugar into a bowl, pour warm milk and add yeast. Stir until dissolved.
3. Add the brew to the stew and stir. There may be lumps - this is normal. Cover with clingfilm and leave in a warm place for 20 minutes.

7. Add the remaining flour and knead the dough.
8. Add the butter and knead the dough for 1-2 minutes more.
9. Rub the butter into the dough while continuing to knead. Leave the dough to rise for 60 minutes in a warm place.
10. Make a crumbled dough and leave to rise for another 60 minutes.
11. Again make a rinse for the dough and leave to rise for 10 minutes.
12. At this time, pour boiling water over the dried fruit, dry it and mix it with flour.
13. Grease the surface and your hands with vegetable oil. Place the dried fruit on the layer of dough and knead the dough to evenly distribute it. Allow to rest for a few minutes.
14. Shape the pastries and place them in the molds. Cover with clingfilm and leave to rise for 60 minutes.
