How to do

Dissolve the yeast in the water and milk to a temperature of about 30° C and then pour into the flour and begin to knead. Add the lard and salt. Continue to knead until the dough soft, smooth and supple. Let dough rise, covered with a sheet of plastic, at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
