Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons salted butter melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 12 slider buns/dinner rolls/pull-apart rolls (see note)
- 8 ounces Italian sausage
- 1 cup pepperoni, chopped
- ½ to 1 to 1 cup marinara sauce (see note)
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (preshredded won't melt quite as well as cheese you grate yourself)
Instructions
- Preheat oven broiler to high and make sure an oven rack is in upper third of the oven. Line a 9X13-inch pan with parchment or foil (or you can lightly grease with cooking spray, but I like to line the pan to make cleanup easier).
- Stir together the butter, garlic powder, oregano and basil.
- Slice the slab of rolls in half (like a hamburger bun). Place each half cut side up on a large baking sheet pan, and use 1/2 of the butter mixture to brush on the cut halves.
- Broil until golden and toasty, 1-3 minutes (watch closely!). Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Change the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls cut side up in the prepared 9X13-inch pan. Sprinkle the pepperoni evenly on top, followed by the cooked and crumbled sausage.
- Drizzle or spoon the pizza sauce across the top, and then sprinkle the mozzarella over the top.
- Top with the other half of rolls. Brush the top of the rolls with the remaining butter mixture.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until the rolls are hot and cheese is melted.
- Serve warm!
Notes
- Rolls: ok, let's talk rolls for a second. If you know me, you know I have to try the homemade way. When I use homemade rolls for these pull-apart type recipes, I use these most excellent French Bread rolls. The only difference is that I press them a little bit flat before they rise so they don't bake up quite as tall as they usually do. I also bake them in a parchment-lined 9X13-inch pan, and then I use the same pan (don't even clean it, keep the parchment in there) to assemble the pull-apart rolls.
- Storebought: however, you do NOT have to go the homemade route. Any storebought slab of rolls (that are baked together so they pull-apart) will work. The Hawaiian sweet rolls are super popular for these types of recipes.
- Skip the Broiling: if you don't mind a little sog-factor, you can skip the broiling step (and up the pizza sauce). I can't emotionally handle soggy bread, plus I LOVE the toasty garlic bread flavor in these rolls.
- Sauce: I use this easy, no cook homemade pizza sauce.
