Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl (sugar, salt and instant yeast).

Mix with a large wooden spoon.

Add shortening or lard and mix.

Mix thoroughly with your hand.

Add warm water and mix the dough until stiff.

Add more flour so that dough doesn't stick.

You can add dough onto a floured board to make sure that it's properly kneaded.

Knead for approximately 8-10 minutes.

Shape dough into a large round shape and cover to rest for 45 minutes.

Knead dough again on a lightly floured surface (kneading is the most critical part of this recipe process).

Shape dough into your desired bread designs and place on a baking sheet or bread pan.

Let the breads rest for 25 minutes.

Preheat oven at 375°F.

Bake until golden brown.
