Bread Dough

Directions

1. 1
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
2. 2
   Make a well in the center.
3. 3
   Add the lard and 2 cups (480 ml) of the water.
4. 4
   Stir well with a spatula, until the dough starts coming together.
5. 5
   Switch to your hands and add the remaining 12 cup (120 ml) water, kneading until the dough comes together (it will be soft and sticky).
6. 6
   Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for 1 to 2 minutes (adding more flour as needed), until the dough holds together in a ball and no longer sticks to your fingers.
7. 7
   Return the dough to the bowl; cover it tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.
