Equipment
- Baking/cookie sheets
Ingredients
- 4 to 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½-1 cup pineapple juice adds a subtle tropical sweetness
- 1 ½ - 2 cup warm water total of 2 1/4 cups of liquid
- 1 egg or egg substitute
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened (or alternative)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tbsp honey for tops
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Add the warm liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring to combine.
- Gradually add more flour, ½ cup at a time, until the dough is soft and no longer sticky.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Or run your stand mixer on low for 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12-15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. OR roll into two loaves and place them on a pan.
- Cover the rolls/bread with a cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for a golden finish.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. 35 minutes for bread.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the subtle sweetness and pillowy softness of these homemade Hawaiian rolls
