   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, salt, and black pepper.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Ensure your yeast is active by checking the expiration date.

2. 2

   Add the lukewarm water and softened lard to the dry ingredients.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Water should be around 40-45°C (105-115°F) – warm to the touch but not hot.

3. 3

   Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

   حوالي 2 د

4. 4

   Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

   حوالي 15 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: The dough should spring back when lightly poked.

5. 5

   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

   حوالي 2 س

   ملاحظة الطاهي: A turned-off oven with the light on can be a good warm spot for rising dough.

6. 6

   While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by dicing the prosciutto, salami, and smoked provolone.

   حوالي 10 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Ensure all filling ingredients are cut into similar small pieces for even distribution.

7. 7

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air.

   On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches (30x45 cm).

   حوالي 5 د

9. 9

   Evenly spread the diced prosciutto, salami, and smoked provolone over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

    حوالي 2 د

12. 12

    Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.

    حوالي 2 د

    ملاحظة الطاهي: Rolling tightly helps create a good spiral and prevents gaps.

13. 13

    Carefully transfer the rolled dough into a greased 10-inch (25 cm) bundt pan or a large ring mold, shaping it into a circle and pinching the ends together to seal.

    حوالي 3 د

    Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let it rise again in a warm place for 1 hour, or until visibly puffed.
