Add the lard to the warm water not boiling and the salt and sugar and let the lard melt and sugar dissolve

* Step 3

Add the water to the mixing bowl then add 4 cups of flour gradually stirring with a spoon all the time.

* Step 4

If its still liquidy add the other cup of water keep stirring add more water until its sticking together and elasticity springs back when you poke it.

* Step 5

Spread some flour down where you are going to need it into shape. Add a little flour at a time until its not sticky.

* Step 6

Knead it for about 5 minutes. It should be ready

* Step 7

Greace a large bowl and add the bread to it then turn it around so its greased all over cover with a kitchen towel and put it somewgere warm for 3 hours

* Step 8

After the 3 hours it should be twice the size.

After that time add it to two bread tins to bake or a ring tin to make 1 larger loaf of bread.

Brush all the top with egg white which makes it have that nice golden brown shine on the top. Cook in a pre heated oven on medium for 20 minutes check it and if its not golden on top leave it for another 10 minutes.
