2Fit the dough tool or knife blade and add the flour (with fresh yeast if used), salt and lard. Process for a few seconds to evenly distribute the ingredients.

3Then with the motor running quickly pour the liquid in a steady stream down the feed tube until the mixture forms an elastic soft dough. This will take about 45 - 60 seconds.

5Re-knead by hand for 2 - 3 minute. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable. Shape into a loaf or 15 rolls and place on greased baking trays and leave until double in size.

6Then bake in a pre-heated oven at 230°C/450°F/Gas mark 8 for 20 - 25 minutes for the loaf or 10 - 15 minutes for bread rolls. When ready they should sound hollow when tapped on the base.
