- 2
Add the lukewarm water and softened lard to the dry ingredients.
Nota de cuina: Water should be around 40-45°C (105-115°F) – warm to the touch but not hot.

Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Uns 2 min
- 4
Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Uns 15 min
Nota de cuina: The dough should spring back when lightly poked.
- 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.
Uns 2 h
Nota de cuina: A turned-off oven with the light on can be a good warm spot for rising dough.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by dicing the prosciutto, salami, and smoked provolone.
Uns 10 min
Nota de cuina: Ensure all filling ingredients are cut into similar small pieces for even distribution.
