Ingredients Notes
The beauty of Pizza Supreme Sliders lies in their simplicity. Each ingredient adds a burst of flavor to create that signature pizza taste in every bite.
Slider Rolls: Look for soft, buttery slider rolls, such as Hawaiian rolls. Their slight sweetness perfectly complements the savory pizza toppings.
Pizza Sauce: Choose a high-quality pizza sauce or make your own for maximum flavor. You’ll want a sauce that’s thick enough to stay put without making the rolls soggy.
Cheese: A combination of mozzarella and Parmesan is ideal. Mozzarella provides that gooey melt, while Parmesan adds a touch of nuttiness and depth.
Toppings: For a classic supreme flavor, use pepperoni, Italian sausage, green bell peppers, red onions, and sliced black olives. Feel free to mix and match depending on your preferences.
Butter Topping: A mixture of melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning brushed over the rolls gives them an irresistible golden finish.
Special Equipment: You’ll need a 9x13 baking dish to assemble and bake the sliders. Aluminum foil is also helpful to prevent over-browning while baking.
Now that we’ve got our ingredients, let’s move on to the fun part—making these delicious sliders!
How To Make Pizza Supreme Sliders
Creating these sliders is as easy as layering your favorite pizza toppings on fluffy rolls. Here’s how to do it step by step:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats, prepare a 9x13 baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact as one large sheet. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the bottom rolls. This is your flavor foundation, so don’t skimp!
Next, layer on your toppings. Start with a layer of pepperoni, followed by crumbled Italian sausage, and finish with the veggies—bell peppers, red onions, and olives.
Sprinkle a thick layer of mozzarella cheese, ensuring every slider gets a cheesy bite. Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing them into individual portions. Serve warm and watch them disappear!
Storage Options
Got leftovers? These sliders store beautifully, making them a great option for meal prep.
To refrigerate, place the sliders in an airtight container and store them for up to 3 days. They’ll stay soft and flavorful, perfect for reheating.
For longer storage, you can freeze the sliders. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. If reheating from frozen, add an extra 5 minutes to the cook time.
Variations and Substitutions
One of the best things about Pizza Supreme Sliders is their versatility. Here are a few ways to change things up:
- Meat-Lovers Sliders: Skip the veggies and pile on extra pepperoni, sausage, and bacon for a hearty twist.
- Veggie Supreme: Go meatless by loading up on mushrooms, spinach, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Spicy Sliders: Add a kick with sliced jalapeños, spicy sausage, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Cheese Lovers: Use a blend of mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar for an ultra-cheesy experience.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute gluten-free rolls for the slider buns, and ensure your toppings are gluten-free as well.
No matter how you customize these sliders, they’re sure to be a hit. Don’t be afraid to get creative and make them your own!
