Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package Hawaiian rolls (12 rolls)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 48 slices pepperoni
Butter Mixture
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 2 teaspoons pizza seasoning
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Garnish
- 2 teaspoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature for the sliders.
- Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic paste, pizza seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Spread a thin layer of half this mixture evenly across the bottom of a baking sheet.
- Slice Rolls: Using a paring knife, carefully slice twice across the top of the Hawaiian rolls horizontally without cutting all the way through, allowing the layers to stay connected.
- Assemble Layers: Place the sliced rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Insert two slices of pepperoni between each layer of bread inside the rolls.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese between each bread layer on top of the pepperoni for that perfect gooey texture.
- Brush Butter Mixture: Drizzle the remaining butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls to add extra flavor and help with browning.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops are golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm for a delightful treat.
Notes
- For extra spice, add more red pepper flakes according to your taste preference.
- Use a serrated bread knife to slice the rolls more easily if a paring knife feels difficult.
- These sliders can be customized with other toppings like olives, mushrooms, or different cheeses.
- Serve immediately for best texture; reheated sliders may lose some crispness.
