Salt Bread (barbados)

Total Time: 1 hr 50 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr 35 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups 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

Recipe

• 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.
