Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (12‑count) Hawaiian sweet rolls (kept connected as a slab)

- 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or oregano)
- ½ tsp garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh garlic, minced)

- Keeping the buns connected, use a large serrated knife to slice the roll slab horizontally so you have a bottom layer and a top layer of buns. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish, cut side up.
- Spread the pizza (or marinara) sauce evenly over the bottom layer of rolls. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Arrange the pepperoni slices (or your chosen toppings) evenly over the cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni layer.
- Place the top half of the rolls back over the layered bottom half.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, grated Parmesan, garlic powder (or minced garlic), Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Brush the butter‑cheese mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls (and allow some to drizzle into the crevices). :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 12‑15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the rolls are heated through. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 3‑5 minutes (or until the tops are lightly golden and the butter mixture has soaked in). :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
- Remove from oven, let rest for 2‑3 minutes to set slightly, then cut between each roll to separate into individual sliders and serve warm.
