Equipment

  • 1 Baking Dish greased
  • 1 Knife sharp
  • 1 Oven preheated to 350°F

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 cup sliced olives
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

Optional Add-ons

  • 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected, and place the bottom halves in a greased baking dish.
  • Spread pizza sauce evenly over the rolls, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Add pepperoni, olives, and mushrooms on top, distributing them evenly.
  • Place the top halves of the rolls over the assembled sliders. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Serving

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispy top. Let cool slightly, cut into individual sliders, and serve warm.

Storage

  • Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use a serrated knife to maintain the rolls' shape while slicing. Evenly distribute cheese and toppings for consistent flavor in each bite. For extra flavor, brush the tops with garlic butter before baking.
Ingredient Substitutions: Try using different types of cheese or adding veggies like spinach or arugula.
How to Serve: Serve these sliders with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
Storage & Freshness: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Assemble the sliders ahead of time and store in the fridge. Bake just before serving for best results.
