Hawaiian Sweet Bread - Soft, buttery rolls
Hawaiian Sweet Bread rolls are a soft, fluffy, and slightly sweetened bread that's traditionally served as a delightful accompaniment to meals or as a base for various types of sandwiches. Originating from the beautiful Hawaiian islands, these rolls are distinguished by their use of pineapple juice which imparts a unique tropical flavor and tender texture. The dough is enriched with butter, eggs, and sugar, contributing to their rich and tender crumb. Once shaped into rolls, they are allowed to rise until pillowy before being baked to golden perfection. These rolls are sure to bring a touch of Aloha to your table, whether enjoyed with dinner, slathered with butter, or used for slider sandwiches at a gathering. Enjoy the warmth and sweetness of Hawaiian Sweet Bread rolls as they bring a taste of the islands to your everyday meals. Description by ChatGPT.

- 5 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup of pineapple juice

- Honey and additional melted butter for brushing finished rolls

Prep Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: Approximately 2 hours 5 minutes, plus resting time
Equipment: Mixing bowl, dough hook mixer attachment, kitchen scale (optional), baking pan, parchment paper, pastry brush
Servings: 15 to 16 bread rolls
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the instant dry yeast in half a cup of warm milk and set aside.
2. In the mixing bowl of your stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
3. Add in the whole egg, pineapple juice, and melted butter. Lightly beat the egg before mixing.
4. Pour the milk and yeast mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
5. Using a dough hook attachment, mix at low speed until combined, then increase to medium-low. Continue mixing until the dough is smooth and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.
6. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Here we're using olive oil, but feel free to use vegetable oil or melted butter.
7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel, and let it proof in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
8. Next, punch down the dough to deflate it and transfer it onto a floured flat surface.
9. Cut and divide the dough into 15 to 16 equal-sized portions. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurement, if desired.
10. Shape each portion into a tight ball by tucking the edges under, pinching them together, and gently rolling.
11. Prepare your baking pan with a light layer of grease and parchment paper. Secure the dough balls on the pan by rolling the base of each ball on the counter.
12. Cover the pan with a towel or plastic wrap and let the dough balls rise in a warm spot for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until they have doubled in size.
13. Optionally, brush the dough balls with the egg wash creation before baking.
14. Place the dough into a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
15. Upon removal from the oven, immediately brush the warm bread rolls with a mixture of honey and melted butter.
16. Allow the rolls to cool slightly, then serve and savor these scrumptious Sweet and Soft Hawaiian Bread Rolls.
Cooking Tips:
- Activate the yeast in warm milk (aim for around 110°F or 45°C – too hot, and it will kill the yeast; too cold, and it will not activate).
- During the second rise, ensure that the dough is in a draft-free environment to rise properly.
- Using honey and butter to brush the rolls after baking gives them a shiny finish and extra flavor.
