Heat the milk and melt margarine in it. Flour mixed with dry yeast, add the sugar, vanilla sugar and spices, salt and mix everything well. Then add the warm milk with margarine and cheese, knead the dough. The dough is not sticky, additional flour, I was not required.

Bun dough cover with a towel and put in a warm place for proofing (I went on this 1 hour)

Raisins and chopped apricots and candied fruit, it is desirable to pour the rum (several hours). While the dough rises, coarsely cut nuts. Obtinem the finished dough, add the nuts and fruit mix (the remnants of the rum drink, not pour! :) ) Mix thoroughly (you can pour a little flour), forming roller,

Which divide into 6 equal parts. Marzipan also divide into 6 parts. Each piece of dough roll out into a strip with a length of about 20 cm, from each piece of marzipan, roll "sausage" with a length of 20 cm, put the marzipan on the dough and roll out the, semipaved seam, fold roll, forming a beam of stars. Transfer to a sheet. In the end, we get such a star. The joints of the beams should be stung to the cake has not collapsed. Cover cake with a towel and leave for 15-20 minutes.

By the end of the proof of the pie, turn the oven and heat it up to 240-250 ° C. Put the sheet in the oven on a medium tyre, switch the oven to 160*C and bake pie for about 35-40 minutes. Ready for another hot cake well greased with melted butter and cover with powdered sugar.
