Equipment

8x8 baking dish *9x9 baking dish works also

Ingredients

12 count Hawaiian Sweet Rolls *any variation/flavor
1 cup pizza sauce *you may end up using less, use as much or as little as you like
5 string cheeses *use shredded mozzarella cheese in place of string cheese if desired
Pizza toppings of your choice *I used about 24 pepperoni slices

Garlic Butter Topping

1/4 cup butter, partially melted or softened at room temperature
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning *or more to taste
1/2 tsp garlic salt *or more to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder *or more to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉.
Place the sweet rolls in the 8x8 (or 9x9) baking dish. You do not need to grease the pan.
*Do not pull the rolls apart, leave them in one big piece.
Using a bread knife or sharp knife, cut down (part way) into the tops of the rolls making a “pocket”. See the blog post above for photos of how to do this.
Make sure you do not cut down all the way through the rolls, you want to just create a “pocket”.
Squeeze or spread the pizza sauce in the pocket of the rolls. You can use as little or as much as you like.
Stuff the toppings in the roll and then top with the string cheese (or shredded cheese).
*If you are using string cheese, you may have to cut some pieces in half to fit in the rolls. You most likely will have part of a string cheese leftover. See blog post above for photos on how to add the cheese.
Mix your seasonings into your partially melted/softened butter and then spread the butter on top of the pizza rolls.
*You can adjust the seasonings in the butter to your liking.
Cover the pan of rolls with foil and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Once the cheese is melted, take the foil off of the pan and let the tops brown to your liking (usually about 5 minutes).
Cut the rolls apart, using the original pull apart cuts. Then enjoy these tasty pizza stuffed rolls.
Cover and store any leftovers in the fridge. You can reheat the rolls in the microwave or in the oven at 350℉.
