I am doing pulled pork sliders this weekend for 25. What have you used for good buns? King's Hawaiian rolls will work, but I really want something more authentic. Any tricks to find or make good slider buns?

I found this recipe as a last resort

i prefer pulled pork w/ hawaiian rolls and a dill pickle slice. but you can always use the brown n serve rolls,

I really enjoy pan de sal as a slider bun. It is a Filipino roll based on a Portugese recipe. I am fortunate that I happen to have an Asian grocery near me that caters to the Filipino population or I never would have stumbled upon them. I'm told it is commonly available in most Asian markets. It is cheap and delicious with pork.

We have a local bakery, Franco American, that makes slider buns, several flavors, really good. Most groceries I have checked just don't carry them. Try to find a local bakery that is a restaraunt supplier.

Andy, Matt, and Mark thanks for the great ideas. Brown and serve - never thought of those. And I will check out the 99 Ranch Market for anything more exotic.

The pickle comment reminded me that sometimes I go with pickled jalapeño and melted cheddar. Kind of a pulled pork nacho sandwich. A bit more labor, but tasty.

Potato rolls make great slider buns.

Costco has nice slider rolls... use them often for left over Turkey or Ham during the Holiday season.. they have them all year round.
