📝 Ingredients:
For the Buns:
- 🍞 6 soft dinner rolls or burger buns
- 🍅 1 cup pizza sauce
- 🧀 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 🧀 ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 🍕 18 slices of pepperoni (or more, to taste)
- 🌿 Optional: Fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of Italian seasoning
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prep the Buns:
- Arrange the buns on the prepared baking sheet.
- For larger rolls, slice them in half horizontally. Smaller dinner rolls can remain whole.
3. Spread the Sauce:
- Spoon a generous layer of pizza sauce onto the top of each bun. Spread evenly for full coverage.
4. Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
- Top with a small handful of Parmesan for a flavorful boost.
5. Layer the Pepperoni:
- Place 2-3 slices of pepperoni on each bun (or more if you’re a pepperoni fan).
6. Bake to Perfection:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bun edges are golden.
7. Garnish & Serve:
- Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flair.
- Serve hot with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
✨ Tips & Variations:
- Custom Toppings: Substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- Garlic Butter Base: Brush the buns with garlic butter before adding the sauce for extra flavor.
- Crispier Buns: Lightly toast the buns in the oven before assembling.
