Pizza Sliders Recipe

Servings: 12 sliders
Cost: $13.65
Equipment
- Sheet pan (15" x 10") 9 x 13-inch
Ingredients
Sliders
- 12-count package Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls see note 1
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese or 6 slices mozzarella and 6 slices provolone
- 4 ounces pepperoni 24 large slices or 48 smaller, see note 2
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese optional
Butter
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9x13-inch sheet pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in remaining ingredients listed under “butter.”
- Carefully slice the entire block of Hawaiian Rolls in half horizontally, keeping the individual rolls attached (see note 1). Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared pan. Brush 2-1/2 tablespoons of the prepared butter mixture onto the cut sides of both the top and bottom halves of the rolls. (So you’ll use a total of 5 tbsp butter).
- Layer in the following order: 6 cheese slices, 12 pepperonis, pizza sauce, 12 more pepperonis, 6 remaining cheese slices. Do not add top slab of rolls yet. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and place top half of the rolls onto the sliders. Brush the top and sides of the rolls generously with the remaining butter mixture. If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan on top. Cover pan with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve hot, cutting into individual sliders.

Notes
Note 1: Keep the rolls intact and slice in half horizontally:
Note 2: I prefer deli-sliced pepperoni. It’s larger, so you’ll only need about 24 pieces. If using smaller, packaged pepperonis, you’ll need about 48. Feel free to adjust the quantity to your preference.
Store: Store cooled Pizza Sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–5 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer until heated through. (I don’t recommend microwaving).
