Rolls and Sauce
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 3/4 cup pizza sauce
Cheese and Pepperoni
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 24 slices pepperoni
Butter Topping
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the rolls: Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half as one sheet, keeping the halves together; place the bottom half in the prepared dish.
- Spread sauce: Evenly spread 3/4 cup pizza sauce over the bottom rolls.
- Add cheese and pepperoni: Layer half of the mozzarella over the sauce, then arrange the pepperoni evenly, and finish with the remaining mozzarella.
- Top with roll tops: Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese and pepperoni.
- Make the butter topping: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Brush and top: Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
- Cover and bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Finish baking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden and cheese is bubbly.
Notes
- For extra garlicky flavor, rub a cut clove of garlic over the cut sides of the rolls before assembling.
- Can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated; bake as directed when ready.
- Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for 2–3 days and reheated in the oven at 350°F for 5–8 minutes.
- For a spicier version, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top before baking.
