Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 3/4 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or grease lightly with butter.
  2. Without separating the individual rolls, carefully slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and provolone over the sauce. Arrange the pepperoni slices in a single layer over the cheese. Top with the remaining mozzarella and provolone. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over everything.
  4. Place the top half of the rolls over the fillings, pressing down gently.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly around the edges.
  8. Let the sliders rest in the dish for 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, slice along the seams of the rolls, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispy edges, remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking instead of 5. Don’t over-saturate the rolls with pizza sauce to prevent sogginess. Shred your own cheese for the best melt. Let the sliders rest before slicing to allow the cheese to set. Double the butter topping for extra flavor.
