Hawaiian Roll Pizza Sliders
These easy Hawaiian Roll Pizza Sliders are an easy dinner idea that's perfect for the entire family! Only 6 ingredients needed to make pepperoni pizza sliders using sweet Hawaiian rolls. Cheesy pepperoni filling with a parmesan pesto glaze over top.
Ingredients
- 12 King's Hawaiian Rolls (attached, do not separate)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 48 slices pepperoni
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 9x13 casserole pan with a sheet of parchment paper.* You can also use a cookie sheet (12"x17") to cook the sliders on. Line the pan with parchment paper for the best results.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the rolls in half lengthwise (like a hamburger with the top and bottom pieces). Do not separate the rolls, leave them connected, so you end up with a top half of buns and a bottom half of buns.12 King's Hawaiian Rolls
- Place the bottom half piece of rolls into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over top the rolls. Layer the pepperoni over the cheese. Spread the sauce over top the pepperoni.1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 48 slices pepperoni, 1 cup pizza sauce
- Place the top half of rolls on top and gently press down. Brush the pesto over the top of the rolls. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over top the pesto.1/4 cup pesto, 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the rolls are toasted and the cheese is melted. If the rolls are browning to quickly, loosely lay a piece of tin foil over top the baking dish and sliders.
Notes
Pesto Substitute : Instead of the pesto you can melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and the parmesan cheese. Brush that over the rolls instead of the pesto. I love the flavor of the pesto but the buttery topping can also be used.
Pepperoni : Use regular or turkey pepperoni slices. For the best, freshest flavor go to the deli counter and ask for fresh sliced pepperoni (this is what I do). The pieces are much larger so you only need about 12 of them or more if you want a double layer.
Cheese : Use sliced mozzarella instead of shredded. You can use any variety, or a blend of cheeses, instead of the mozzarella.
Parmesan Cheese : This is the cheaper, shelf-stable grated parmesan cheese.
