yeast if used), salt and lard. Process for a few seconds to evenly
distribute the ingredients.

stream down the feed tube until the mixture forms an elastic soft
dough. This will take about 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 doubled in size.

rolls and place on greased baking trays and leave until double in
size.
