Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. 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.
  3. Spread sauce: Evenly spread 3/4 cup pizza sauce over the bottom rolls.
  4. Add cheese and pepperoni: Layer half of the mozzarella over the sauce, then arrange the pepperoni evenly, and finish with the remaining mozzarella.
  5. Top with roll tops: Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese and pepperoni.
  6. Make the butter topping: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  7. Brush and top: Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
  8. Cover and bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  9. 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.
