Description
Delight in these soft, pillow-like Hawaiian sweet rolls bathed in sweet, buttery goodness for a joyful breakfast experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
Instructions
- Begin by combining the warm milk, melted butter, and pineapple juice in a large mixing bowl. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Next, incorporate the eggs and mix well. Sprinkle in the salt and gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 pieces. Shape each into a ball and place in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls and let rise for another 30-45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
Notes
Consider using almond milk for a dairy-free version or substitute honey for granulated sugar for a natural sweetness.
