1

Start yeast action by placing yeast in 1/4 cup warm water to which 1 teaspoon of sugar has been added.
2

Scald 2 cups milk and add shortening to melt. Set aside to cool.
3

In large bowl mix flour, sugar and salt. Add lukewarm milk and shortening mixture, eggs well beaten and yeast mixture.
4

Mix all ingredients together adding just enough flour so that dough is not sticky. Cover and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour or until double.
5

Separate dough into 32 rolls. I use a kitchen scale to weigh the dough into four equal pieces and divide each by eight.
6

Use a rolling pin to roll out each roll.
7

Add sliced pepperoni and then roll up and seal.

Brush rolls lightly with beaten egg and then let rise until double.
