Texas Camp Bread

(Original cowboy bread of the famous King Ranch, circa 1850’s)

10 Cups flour
3 tsp salt
4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 T lard 
4 ¼ Cups water (or update to: 4 C water & ¼ C evaporated milk)

Sift and mix ingredients together. Use lukewarm water--dough is rather dry. Let dough set for 20 to 30 minutes. Roll out into ¼” to ½” thin rounds and cook in a hot (bacon) greased, cast iron, skillet or Dutch oven. Prick with fork and turn when browned.
