4 steps

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups white flour
3 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
2 tablespoons lard
1 cup water

Directions

1

Put all the ingredients except the water into a large bowl and blend until you get fine crumbs.
2

Add the water and knead for two minutes, then let rise until doubled in size.
3

Punch down and divide into four equal portions. Brush with water and turn over. Let rest for 15 minutes, then turn over again and let rest for another 15 minutes.
4

Sprinkle the tops of the rolls with flour and place them in a preheated 325 degree oven for 15 minutes or until golden (mine took more like 25 or 30 minutes, so make sure you watch them). This is a really soft bread, so your rolls aren't going to sound too hollow when you knock on them. Go by color instead.
