Yeast Bread
Ingredients
Directions
In a deep pan, place the flour and create a hollow in the center.
Add 1 quart of warm water, salt, lard, and yeast into the hollow.
Gradually mix in enough of the additional warm water to form a soft dough, kneading well.
Once smooth and shiny, sprinkle a little flour on top and cover with a thick cloth.
Set the pan in a warm place for 4-5 hours or overnight.
Knead the dough again, cover, and let it rise once more.
