Description
These soft, pillowy rolls are infused with the tropical flavor of pineapple juice, making them a delightful accompaniment for any meal or a perfect stand-alone snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center for the wet ingredients.
- In another bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the activated yeast mixture, eggs, and pineapple juice to the butter, mixing until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the well of the flour, gradually mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
- Punch the dough down, remove it from the bowl, and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish, allowing space between each roll.
- Cover the dough balls with a cloth and let them rise again until they puff up (about 30-40 minutes).
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the Ultimate Hawaiian Rolls warm!
Notes
Use warm milk to effectively activate the yeast. Avoid adding too much flour while kneading to maintain a light texture.
