There is something about the size of a slider that just seems to work for all ages. I prefer using the frozen rolls that need time to rise before baking them for my sliders however most supermarkets carry some form of pre-made slider rolls that work perfectly. Be sure to plan ahead if your preference requires rise time then grab your favorite pizza toppings and bake up a warm pan of Pepperoni Pizza Sliders.

How to Freeze The Pepperoni Sliders

You can make these ahead of time and keep them in the freezer. Then, you just have to take them out the night before and heat them up in the oven. Easy dinner or lunch ready in minutes!

To freeze them, just do one of these options:

  • Wrap them up individually. Put each slider in an individual plastic wrap or bag and then put all of the sliders in one bag together.
  • Freeze them on a sheet pan. Put the sheet pan in the freezer. Then, after they are frozen completely, put them in a zippered plastic bag together.

Don’t forget to write the name of the recipe on the bag and the date you froze them. They will last about 3 months in the freezer.
