  These bacon tarts can be made in two ways. The dough base is always
  the same, however, the topping is different.
  
  Dough:
  
  In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in
  half the lukewarm milk. Form a well in the flour, and pour the
  yeast mixture into this well. Dust the liquid with flour, and cover
  the bowl. Let rest, in a warm spot, for 30 minutes. Then add the
  melted butter and knead and beat the dough until it starts to form
  small bubbles. Shape into rounds that are about half a finger's
  width thickness and about 5" in diameter. Tweak the edges of the
  dough into a raised rim. Cover the dough circles with

  A) egg yolk and then lightly press in the bacon and add the
     remainder of the ingredients, -OR-
  
  B) lard and then lightly press in the cracklings. Season with
     salt.
  
  Bake at medium heat for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
