  1. 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a tube pan.
  2. 2 Stir together 3 cups of flour, the sugar, pepper, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl.
  3. 3 Heat water and margarine to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) in a saucepan over low heat. Pour the hot water-margarine mixture into the flour; quickly stir a few strokes to combine.

  4. 4 Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces, form them into rolls, and place them into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set the pan into a sink of hot water (about 115 degrees F/46 degrees C) until the rolls have doubled in size, about 15 minutes. Beat egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water until thoroughly combined; brush the dough with the beaten egg yolk mixture.
