Lardy Cake instructions
- Mix the dry bread ingredients together with the lard in a large bowl.
- Mix the milk and water together, and add the yeast to it. Wait 10 minutes to allow it to activate..
- Add the liquid to the dry bread mix and form into a ball. Kneed the dough for 10 minutes..
- Cover the bowl and leave in a warm place to rise. It should have doubled in size after 45 minutes or so..
- Turn the oven on to 210 C.
- For the filling, mix the lard and the sugar into a paste and separate into three equal parts.
- Line the base of your cooking tray with one part of the paste. I used a 25cm diameter silicon mould..
- Once the dough has risen, roll out to a rectangle and in the middle third add one part of paste, and half the raisins..
- Fold each uncovered third over the centre, rotate the dough and roll out back to the original rectangle shape..
- Add the remaining paste and raisin as before and repeat the folding..
- Shape the dough into a sausage and lay it as a spiral in the baking tray. Cover and allow to rise again..
- When doubled in size, place in the over for 45 minutes. Remove and allow to sit for 30 minutes to allow the caramelised base time to firm up..
