1. Soak the bread in cold water and salt for 1 hour.

2. In a pot, combine 1 quart of cold water and 1 tablespoon of salt; bring to a slow boil.

3. Cool the bread in cold water until manageable.

4. Lard the bread with strips of dry salted fat pork.

5. Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 minutes until slightly browned.

6. Prepare a garnish of your choice, such as French green peas, mushrooms, string beans, or a plain white sauce.
