Preheat Oven to 425 degrees.

In a bowl, combine first three ingredients.

In another large bowl, combine Flour, Salt, and Lard and mix with hands. Add the first three ingredients and mix until well blended.

Place mixture on floured board and knead until smooth.

Place mixture in a Tupperware Cake Container/tote (upside down using top as container) (Do not grease container), slash dough in three portions and tighten cover. Let stand in warm no-draft area for one hour.
