   8      oz            Can pizza sauce
  12      sl            Pepperoni
   2 1/2  oz            Fully cooked pastrami --

     3/4  c             Mozzarella cheese -- shredded
   1                    Egg -- beaten

In a mixing bowl, combine 2-1/4 cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add water and butter; mix well. Add enough remaining flour to form a
soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead for 4 minutes. Roll
dough into a 14x10" rectangle. Cut with a 3" round cookie cutter.
Reroll scraps to cut a total of 24 circles. Place 1 ts pizza sauce
and a slice of pepperoni in center of 12 circles. Combine pastrami,
ham, and cheese; place equal amounts over pepperoni. Top with 1/2 ts
pizza sauce, if desired. Save remaining sauce for another use or for
dipping. Cover with remaining dough circles; pinch edges or press
with a fork to seal. Place on greased baking sheets. Brush with egg.
Bake at 400 F for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned.
