Steps
- 1
Add the yeast to the warm water
- 2
Add the lard to the warm water not boiling and the salt and sugar and let the lard melt and sugar dissolve
- 3
Add the water to the mixing bowl then add 4 cups of flour gradually stirring with a spoon all the time.
- 4
If its still liquidy add the other cup of water keep stirring add more water until its sticking together and elasticity springs back when you poke it.
- 5
Spread some flour down where you are going to need it into shape. Add a little flour at a time until its not sticky.
- 6
Knead it for about 5 minutes. It should be ready
- 7
Greace a large bowl and add the bread to it then turn it around so its greased all over cover with a kitchen towel and put it somewgere warm for 3 hours
- 8
After the 3 hours it should be twice the size.
- 9
Turn it out onto a floured surface and press hard and punch with your knuckles for another 5 minutes
- 10
This makes 2 loaves of bread so half it and put the two pieces in greased bowls covered with a towel again for a further 1 + 1/2 hours
- 11
After that time add it to two bread tins to bake or a ring tin to make 1 larger loaf of bread.
- 12
Brush all the top with egg white which makes it have that nice golden brown shine on the top. Cook in a pre heated oven on medium for 20 minutes check it and if its not golden on top leave it for another 10 minutes.
- 13
Sprinkle some dried parsley on top for the finish.
