In a mixing bowl, combine 500 grams of flour and 10 grams of salt.

Add 20 grams of fresh yeast and 10 grams of sugar to the mixture.

Incorporate 250 grams of butter, mixing half butter and half lard if desired for flavor.

Add 150 milliliters of water to the mixture.

Optionally, add a small amount of yellow food coloring for color.

Knead the dough for about 7 minutes until well combined.

Form the dough into a ball and let it rest for a while to rise.

Roll out the dough and cut it into pieces about 8 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters long.

Flatten each piece slightly with a rolling pin, ensuring they are not too thin.

Place the pieces on a baking sheet, leaving about 2 fingers of space between each.

Bake in the preheated oven, lowering the temperature by 30 degrees after 10 minutes for a total baking time of about 30-40 minutes.
