Rest the dough for 10 minutes, then roll out to a 35x 35 cm (14″x 14″) square. Spread half of the dough with half the lard. Sprinkle with half the fruit and half the sugar.
Fold over dough to sandwich the added ingredients and rest again for 5 minutes before repeating the addition of ingredients as in (2), then using a fork prick right through the dough over the entire area.
