Fit the dough tool or knife blade and add the flour (with fresh yeast if used),
s
alt and lard. Process for a few seconds to evenly distribute the ingredients.
3 Then with the motor running quickly pour the liquid in a steady stream down
t
he feed tube until the mixture forms an elastic soft dough. This will take
a
bout 60 - 90 seconds.
4 Remove the dough, place in a bowl, cover with an oiled piece of clingfilm or
a
plastic bag, and leave in a warm place for 45 - 60 minutes or until
d
oubled in size.
5 Re-knead by hand for 2 - 3 minute. Re-kneading in the bowl is not

ecommended as it may cause the processor to become
u
nstable. Shape into a loaf or 15 rolls and place on greased baking trays
and leave until double in size.

should sound hollow when tapped on the base.
