- Add the lard, your starter, the salt and 4 cups of flour and stir to combine, adding more flour if you need.
- Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 mins, then place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to rise, about 45 mins.
- Punch down, then shape into a large loaf shape on a baking tray. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise somewhere warm for about an hour again, until it has doubled in size.
- Cook at 180C/375F for 25-30 mins. Once cooked, place on a wire rack and cover with a tea towel to cool.

- Shred your ribs with 2 forks. Pour over 2 tbsp of your vinegar sauce and stir until all coated. Add more to taste.
- Cut the ends off your bread and half it horizontally. Brush each side liberally with your mustard, then layer with your shredded ribs, ham, salami, cheese and pickles.
- Heat a large griddle pan and place your sandwich on top. Put a large tray on top and put a casserole dish in it to press the sandwich. Cook for 3 mins, then flip and cook for a further 3 mins on the other side.
- Put your sandwich on a tray and place the press back on top. Put in the oven at 180C/375F for 20 mins until the cheese has melted.
