Ingredients
For the Sliders
– 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
– 1 cup pizza sauce
– 24 slices pepperoni
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For the Garlic Butter Topping
– ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley
– 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Optional Fillings
– Cooked Italian sausage
– Sliced mushrooms

– Diced bell peppers
– Jalapeños
– Cooked bacon
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Without separating the rolls, slice the entire package horizontally. Place the bottom half into the prepared baking dish.
3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the bottom layer.
4. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
5. Arrange the pepperoni evenly across the cheese.
6. Add the provolone cheese, then top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
7. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
8. Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
9. Mix the melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, parsley, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
10. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
11. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
– Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded varieties.
– Add cooked sausage, bacon, or vegetables to customize the filling.
– Brush extra garlic butter on top immediately after baking for even more flavor.
– Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
