Gracie's Pepper Rolls / Panini di Pepe alla Grazia Gracie La Puma, a good friend of my family’s, never arrived empty-handed on her frequent visits to our house; there was always just-baked bread or cookies “for the kids”. Her spicy, black pepper-flecked rolls were my favorite. I could never eat just one; I doubt you will either. I recently called her to get the recipe for those rolls. She is almost 90 years old, but her familiar voice came riveting over the phone as if she were standing right next to me. “Honeee, justa putta somma farina ina the wella; adda leetle yeast anda water and putta as mucha anice anda pepper youa wanta. Goda blessa honee. Howsa you maddar?”
