Divide into 24 pieces. Roll each piece to a 4" round. Divide pepperoni among rounds. Top each with rounded teaspoonful of tomato mixture. Bring all edges together over filling and pinch to seal. Place, seam side down, in greased 2½" muffin cups. Cover, let rise until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Beat together egg yolk and 2 teaspoons water. Brush over rolls and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in 375 degree oven 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately, or cool completely, wrap in foil and store in refrigerator. To reheat, place on baking sheets, cover loosely with foil and bake in 350 degree oven 12 minutes or until hot.

Makes 24.
