Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the buns:
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally without separating the individual rolls. Place the bottom half of the buns in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the pizza sauce:
- Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the bottom half of the buns. Make sure each roll is evenly covered with sauce.
- Add the toppings:
- Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Add the pepperoni slices (or your preferred toppings) over the cheese. Feel free to customize each slider with different toppings to suit everyone’s taste.
- More cheese:
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and a bit more mozzarella on top of the pepperoni for an extra cheesy finish.
- Top the sliders:
- Place the top half of the buns over the cheese and toppings, creating a “pizza sandwich.”
- Season and butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and oregano. Brush the butter mixture generously over the top of the buns. For a bit of freshness, sprinkle the tops with fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
- Bake:
- Cover the sliders with foil and bake for 12-15 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the sliders cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Slice along the lines of the buns to create individual mini pizza sliders.
