1 scant cup sugar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup warm water (110F to 115F)

Cooking instruction summary:
In a glass mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar. Wait about 5 minutes, or until foam appears.In a microwaveable bowl, melt lard. Remove, add 2 cups of water, and stir well. Add yeast mixture. Add eggs, sugar, salt, and about half of the flour. Continue adding the remaining flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well each time. You want the dough to be slightly sticky but easy to work with.Move dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Place dough in a bowl sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or oil. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm location until dough doubles in size, 1 to 3 hours depending on the yeast you choose (read package directions). Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down. Re-cover the bowl and let it rise again in a warm place for 1 to 3 hours.Place dough on a floured surface and knead for a minute or so. Take a golf ball-sized piece of dough and make a smooth circle out of it, folding the edges underneath so the top is smooth. Place dough balls evenly spaced on a greased baking sheet. Allow a little space between each dough ball. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot for at least an hour or overnight.Preheat oven to 375F. Bake uncovered for about 15 minutes. Watch closely to avoid over-baking or burning.
