Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n- Hawaiian sweet rolls:<\/strong> King’s Hawaiian is the gold standard when it comes to sweet slider buns. Typically found in your grocer’s bakery section or bread aisle, these slider-sized buns are super soft and slightly sweet. They’re the perfect choice for an array of Hawaiian roll slider recipes<\/a>. If you don’t have or can’t find Hawaiian sweet rolls, use your favorite brand of mini or slider buns instead.<\/li>\n
- Cheese:<\/strong> A blend of mozzarella and Parmesan is the perfect duo of melting cheeses<\/a> for these easy pizza sliders.<\/li>\n
- Pepperoni:<\/strong> Any brand of pepperoni slices will do, but we recommend snagging pepperoni sliced fresh from your deli counter. Deli-sliced pepperoni is typically larger and perfectly sized for these Hawaiian roll pizza sliders.<\/li>\n
- Assorted toppings:<\/strong> This recipe calls for a mix of bell peppers, mushrooms and black olives, but you can use any pizza toppings<\/a> you enjoy.<\/li>\n
- Pizza sauce:<\/strong> Choose either your favorite store-bought pizza sauce<\/a> or your own homemade pizza sauce<\/a> for these sliders. You can also use your favorite marinara sauce<\/a> for this recipe.<\/li>\n
- Italian dressing:<\/strong> This is the finishing touch that flavors the rolls as they bake in the oven, plus it helps turn them a perfect golden brown. Use your favorite, or try one of our Test Kitchen’s picks for best Italian dressing<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Don’t skip this step. Vegetables contain a lot of water, which is released when they cook. Here, cooking the vegetables before assembling the sliders ensures the sliders won’t become super soggy in the oven.<\/p>\nStep 2: Assemble the sliders<\/h3>\n
