Cut the mozzarella in slices and place on folded clean tea towels. Meanwhile, slice the rolls in half horizontally. Place bread cut side down on a grill or cut side up under a hot broiler, until lightly toasted. Drizzle both sides of the bread with olive oil. Arrange tomatoes on bottom halves of rolls. Season with salt and pepper, a sprinkling of oregano, and a drizzle of olive oil. Arrange the mozzarella on top of the tomatoes. Season again with salt, pepper, oregano, and olive oil. Top with the whole basil leaves. Cover with the top halves of the rolls.
