Ingredients:
3 cup
White Sugar (divided)1.75 cups

Salt1 cup
Lard (melted)Directions:
1
Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar into the water in a small bowl

Sprinkle the yeast over the water; let stand 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam

Meanwhile, whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt together in a bowl

Once the yeast has foamed, stir the melted lard into the yeast, then stir the yeast mixture into the flour until a sticky dough forms

Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes

You may need to add additional flour to keep the dough from sticking

Once elastic, cover the dough with the mixing bowl, and allow to rest for 15 minutes

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with lard
9
Cut the dough into three equal sections, then cut each section into 8 pieces

Form into balls and place into the prepared baking dish in 6 rows of 4
11
Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes
12
Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C)

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped, about 1 hour
