Ingredients
For the Sliders
- 12 rolls Hawaiian rolls Soft, slightly sweet rolls ideal for sliders
- 1 cup low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded For the best melt and stretch
- 1 cup pepperoni slices Can substitute with salami or cooked Italian sausage
- 3-4 tablespoons pizza sauce Spread thinly to prevent sogginess
- 2 tablespoons melted butter For brushing tops before baking
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Mix into melted butter for flavor
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs For brushing tops before baking
- 1 pinch salt Enhances flavor of the garlic butter
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the entire sheet of Hawaiian rolls horizontally without separating them.
- Layer the pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni evenly on the bottom half of the rolls.
- Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder, Italian herbs, and salt.
Baking
- Cover the assembled sliders loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Once baked, let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing for neat portions.
Notes
For a firmer bite, lightly toast the bottom of the rolls before adding fillings. You can prepare these sliders up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerate them wrapped tightly. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
