Ingredients Notes
The magic of these Pizza Supreme Sliders lies in their flavorful, thoughtfully chosen ingredients. Here’s what makes them shine:
Hawaiian Rolls
Soft and slightly sweet, these rolls are the perfect base for sliders. Their pillowy texture soaks up all the flavors while staying sturdy enough to hold the filling. If you prefer, substitute with brioche rolls or mini burger buns.
Marinara Sauce
This is the heart of the pizza flavor. Use your favorite store-bought marinara, or make your own for an extra special touch. Be sure to choose one with a robust flavor to stand up to the toppings.
Mozzarella Cheese
Nothing beats the stretch and melt of shredded mozzarella. You can also mix in some provolone or Parmesan for added depth.
Pepperoni and Italian Sausage
These classic pizza meats add a savory, slightly spicy kick. You can use pre-cooked sausage crumbles to save time, or cook and crumble your own.
Bell Peppers and Onions
Diced green bell peppers and red onions bring a fresh, slightly crunchy texture to balance the richness of the cheese and meats. Feel free to substitute with other veggies like mushrooms, olives, or even jalapeños for extra heat.
Butter and Italian Seasoning
A buttery, seasoned topping takes these sliders to the next level. The melted butter, mixed with garlic and Italian herbs, creates a golden crust that’s as delicious as it is aromatic.
You’ll also need a baking dish large enough to fit the sliders snugly. Let’s move on to assembling and baking these beauties.
How To Make These Pizza Supreme Sliders
Making these Pizza Supreme Sliders is as easy as layering your favorite pizza toppings – let me walk you through it step by step.
Step 1: Prep the Rolls
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Slice your Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Place the bottom half in a greased baking dish.
Step 2: Add the Sauce
Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over the bottom half of the rolls. Be sure to coat the surface evenly for maximum flavor in every bite.
Step 3: Layer the Toppings
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Then, add the diced bell peppers, onions, pepperoni slices, and sausage crumbles. Top it off with the remaining mozzarella for that ooey-gooey cheese pull.
Step 4: Add the Top Layer
Place the top half of the rolls over the fillings. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing into them. Trust me, the wait is worth it!
Storage Options
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, these Pizza Supreme Sliders store beautifully.
Refrigerator: Place any leftover sliders in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Wrap individual sliders in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat, pop them in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This helps maintain their crispy top and melty center.
Variations and Substitutions
One of the best things about these sliders is how versatile they are. Here are some fun ways to switch things up:
Veggie Lover’s Sliders
Skip the meats and load up on mushrooms, spinach, olives, and extra cheese for a vegetarian version.
Spicy Supreme Sliders
Add a kick with sliced jalapeños, spicy sausage, and pepper jack cheese.
Hawaiian Pizza Sliders
Replace the pepperoni with ham and pineapple for a sweet-and-savory twist.
Gluten-Free Option
Use gluten-free slider rolls or mini gluten-free bagels as the base.
Make-It-Your-Own
Get creative with your favorite toppings – from grilled chicken and pesto to buffalo sauce and blue cheese, the possibilities are endless.
