Lard is commonly used in traditional recipes for certain types of bread, notably in Southern and Mexican cuisines. One example is "biscuit" bread, where lard contributes to the flaky texture. Additionally, some types of "tortillas" and "pan de muerto" may also include lard for added richness and flavor.

The main difference between lard and butter is in the taste.
Lard is not needed to make yeast bread. You can make excellent bread with just yeast, flour, water, and salt for flavoring.
