Hi Jan,

I don't know about the 100 rolls or the bread flour, but I did find some clones for school cafeteria yeast rolls. See below and here:
St. Louis School Yeast Rolls.

Phaed

Cafeteria Lady Rolls

4 cups flour
2 tablespoons yeast
1 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup melted shortening (may use butter)
1 3/4 cups warm milk

Add yeast to warm milk and let sit 1 minute; stir and add melted 
shortening. Have dry ingredients ready and add to milk. Slowly 
mix on medium speed until the dough no longer sticks to the side 
of the bowl.

Place dough in a well-greased bowl and let rise until doubled in 
bulk. Stir down and form into rolls (note that dough is sticky) 
and let them rise again.

Bake at 425 degrees until brown and brush with butter while hot.

Mary notes wrote that the recipe fills more than a 9- by 13-inch 
pan with the weather having something to do with it. 
-------------------------------------------
School Cafeteria Rolls

3 packages yeast
2 cups warm water
1/2 cup sugar
1-1/2 sticks melted butter (3/4 cup)
7 cups flour
1/2 cup dry milk
1-1/2 teaspoons salt

Put yeast & water in mixing bowl and add sugar. Let sit until 
dissolved (about 10 minutes), then add melted butter
Add flour, dry milk and salt. Beat well
Shape into rolls, place on greased sheet & let rise until 
double in bulk
Bake about 15 minutes at 425 degrees
Recipe Note: This is an old cafeteria recipe that is so easy to 
make if you have a heavy duty mixer. It only requires one rising 
and it's impossible to mess these up. If you don't have a heavy 
duty mixer, only add part of the flour so you can mix them well 
and then knead the remainder of flour in.
------------------------------
School Yeast Rolls

2 c. lukewarm water
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. yeast
1/2 c. dry milk
1 Tbsp. salt
6 c. flour
3/4 c. butter or shortening

Combine lukewarm water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl;
let set for about 10 minutes. Mix well and add butter or
shortening. Sift and add remaining ingredients.
Note: Use 1 cup wheat flour and 5 cups whites.
Knead until mixture is sponge. Let rise to double size.
Roll out with rolling pin, and use roll cutter to cut rolls;
place into oiled pan. Let rise to double size. Bake at 400 degrees
for 12 minutes or until desired brownness. Butter tops when
done. (We use school warmer to let rolls rise.)
Note: If using convection oven, reduce heat to 325 degrees
until brown.

Hi Patricia,

Yes, I found several recipes for peppernuts, each just slightly different. See below.

Phaed

Peppernuts

 Ingredients :
 2 c. shortening
 3 c. sugar
 2 c. dark Karo syrup
 1 c. molasses
 1 tbsp. ginger
 1 tbsp. cinnamon
 1 tbsp. soda
 2 tsp. salt
 1 tsp. baking powder
 1 tsp. anise oil
 1 c. hot water

 Preparation :
   Pour hot water over the first 4 ingredients.  Add spices, soda and
 anise oil.  Stir in flour (9 or more cups) to make medium to stiff
 dough.  Chill dough.  Roll in a rope size of a finger.  Cut into
 small pieces.  Place on cookie sheet 1 inch apart.  Bake at 325
 degrees approximately 20 minutes.  If peppermint flattens out, more
 flour is needed.  Bake a sample first.  NOTE:  1/2 recipe makes
 about 2 quarts of peppernuts.  Anise extract may be used in lieu of
 oil.
 ----------------------------------
 Peppernuts

 Ingredients :
 2 c. melted lard
 3 eggs
 1 tsp. nutmeg
 Ground anise seed
 1 tsp. salt
 Chopped nuts
 2 c. white Karo syrup
 1 c. flour, sifted with 1 tsp. cream
    of tartar
 2 c. brown sugar
 2 tsp. cinnamon
 1 tsp. cloves
 2 tsp. whole coriander seed
 1/2 tsp. pepper
 2 c. molasses
 4 tsp. baking soda

 Preparation :
    Dissolve baking soda in a little hot water.  Mix melted lard and
 brown sugar together.  Add eggs one at a time and set aside.  Mix
 together the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, anise seed, coriander seed,
 salt, pepper and chopped nuts.  Add to the lard mixture.  Add
 molasses, Karo syrup, and baking soda.  Add the flour-cream of
 tartar mixture.  Add enough flour to make a stiff dough.  Mix until
 well blended.  Let stand 10-12 hours in refrigerator before baking.
 Form a ball of dough into a snake like strand.  Cut the strand into
 small piece, and roll each piece into a small ball, about the
 diameter of a penny.  Bake at 350-375 degrees to a golden brown.
 ----------------------------------
 Anise  Oil  Peppernuts

 Ingredients :
 2 1/2 lbs. dark Karo syrup
 4 eggs
 1/2 lb. butter
 3 tsp. soda
 1 tsp. genuine anise oil
 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
 1/2 tsp. ginger
 1 lb. sugar
 5 lbs. flour
 1/2 lb. lard
 1/2 c. sour cream
 1 lb. chopped nuts
 1/2 tsp. cloves
 2 tsp. cardamom (ground)
 1 tsp. anise seed (instead of oil)
 1/3 tsp. nutmeg
 2 tsp. salt
 2 tsp. black pepper
 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
 No ginger

 Preparation :
   Bring syrup, sugar, butter and lard to a boil.  Cool, combine sour
 cream and soda, eggs, flour and anise oil.  Let dough stand
 overnight.  Form into rolls, cut and bake.  (It's recommended to
 placing the rolls on sheets of waxed paper and freezing until you
 are ready to proceed and then dipping your knife in cornstarch as
 you cut them so the dough will not stick to your knife.  It is not
 necessary to turn the peppernuts over after cutting.  They needn't
 be separated by very much.  This is a large recipe, enough for all
 the grandchildren.)    Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 9
 minutes.  The following additional spices may be added:  The size of
 the peppernuts depends on the width of the roll.

    find but you can do without)

    extract
 1/2 c. hot water
 3 tsp. baking soda
 11 to 12 c. plain flour

 Preparation :
   Place the sugar, molasses, margarine in a saucepan and boil,
 stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.  Cool mixture.  Pour cooled
 sugar mixture into a very large bowl.  Add beaten eggs and spices
 and mix.  Dissolve baking soda in hot water and add to mix.
 Gradually add flour while mixing.  Dough needs to be very stiff.
 Chill dough thoroughly.  Roll small amounts of dough into pencil
 shapes and cut off 1/4 inch pieces.  Place pieces on cookie sheets
 (without touching each other) and bake at 350 degrees for 10
 minutes.  Makes 1 gallon.  Friend

I couldn't tell if you finally found the recipe or not... so might as well
send it on ...

Bologna Cake
1 1/2 lb. bologna
2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese

Get 1 1/2 pounds bologna sliced 1/2-inch thick. Take 1 piece of bologna and
cover with a layer of cream cheese, lay another piece of bologna on top of
first piece. Then cover second piece with cream cheese, continue to do this
until all 1 1/2 pounds are layered in the form of a cake. Then take
remaining cream cheese and cover top and sides, just like you were icing a
cake. Chill, slice and serve with crackers or chips.

'Nfasciateddi

My grandparents came from Agira, Sicily.  My grandmother used to make
these cookies called Nfasciateddi which were made by all the people of
that Italian town.   The cookies took 2 days to make.   Dough was made
similar to pie dough.  The filling consisted of melted honey to which
grownd toasted almonds, cinnamon and chocolate (I understand it was
optional) and flour to thicken.  It sat at room temperature for 24
hours.  The next step was; take pieces of the filling and roll into a
rope about 5 inches long the thickness of your pinky.   The dough was
rolled out, cut in strips and wrap aound the filling like a candy cane
and then form the shape of an S.   They were baked.  When ready to
serve, honey was brushed on them and sprinkled with cinnamon.
Thankyou, Andrew

Hello Andy,

Well, I found a recipe for 'Nfasciateddi. How's your Italian? I could not find it in English, only in Italian. I tried translating it through Google's online translator, but it come out gibberish. Anyhow, it's below.

Phaed

'Nfasciateddi

Ingredienti: miele, mandorle abbrustolite, farina 00, 
 chiodi di garofano, uova, sugna, buccia di limone.
Preparazione: Sciogliere il miele sul fuoco ed aggiungere 
 le mandorle tostate e la farina. Portare quasi all'ebollizione 
 e riporle su un contenitore dove il composto dovrà riposare per 
 almeno 24 ore. Di poi, unire la farina, i tuorli d'uovo e la 
 sugna e mescolare bene fino ad amalgamare bene gli ingredienti. 
 Stirare il composto con un mattarello fino ad ottenere una 
 sfoglia sottile e poi ritagliare delle lunghe fettuccine che 
 serviranno ad avvolgere l' impasto precedentemente preparato 
 e ben riposato. Infornare il dolce a fuoco moderato e lasciare 
 per circa  quindici minuti.Durante la cottura preparare un 
 caramellato di zucchero, acqua e buccia di limone grattugiata, 
 nel quale verranno immersi i dolci (freddi) fino a quando non 
 ne verranno interamente rivestiti
