How to Make Gourmet Hawaiian Pizza Sliders
Creating this appetizing dish is a breeze. Begin by preparing the melted butter mixture. Then, assemble the sliders by layering the bottoms of the rolls in a greased 7×11-inch baking dish (a 9×13-inch dish can be used as an alternative). Place 6 slices of mozzarella cheese on the bottom halves, covering approximately 2 rolls per slice.
Follow the cheese with layers of pepperoni, pizza sauce, and the remaining mozzarella cheese. Seal the sliders with the top halves of the rolls and generously brush the melted butter mixture over the top.
