Pepperoni Rolls

by Nancy

1 1/2 c. warm water

1/3 c. sugar

1 pkg. yeast

1 t. salt

1/4 c. dry powdered milk

4 c. flour

pepperoni

Dissolve sugar, yeast, milk and salt in warm water.  Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough.  Knead on floured board for a few minutes, then shape into a ball and let raise until doubled.  Put dough back on board and cut into 12 pieces.  Flatten each piece with your hand and then put 4-5 slices of pepperoni in the middle, sort of overlapping.  Roll it up and crimp with your fingers to seal the ends, so you have a sort of oval shape with no pepperoni showing.  Put on ungreased cooking sheet.  No need to let them raise again.  Bake at 400ºF. until golden brown then brush with a bit of melted butter.

In addition to the pepperoni, you can add other ingredients, such as cheese or roasted red pepper.
