This is the original cowboy bread of the famous King Ranch, circa 1850's
10 cups all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons salt 4 teaspoons black pepper 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1 tablespoon lard 4 1/4 cups water
Sift and mix ingredients together. Use lukewarm water — dough is rather dry. Let dough set for 20 to 30 minutes.
Roll dough out into 1/4- to 1/2-inch rounds and cook in a hot cast iron, skillet or Dutch oven which has been greased with bacon grease. Prick with fork and turn when browned.
