Ingredients
Scale
1 (12 count) package sweet Hawaiian rolls
1 cup pizza sauce
1 pound thinly sliced pepperoni
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Carefully slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the rolls connected in one piece. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
Layer the pepperoni slices over the sauce.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the pepperoni.
Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered top.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing them apart between the rolls. Serve warm.
Notes
For a less soggy bottom, you can lightly toast the bottom layer of rolls for 3 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings.
You can substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or ham for variation.
Serve these handheld pizza dinner options with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
