Sweet Hawaiian Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 300g (2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 5g (1 tsp) salt
- 7g (1 packet) instant yeast
- 60ml (1/4 cup) pineapple juice
- 120ml (1/2 cup) whole milk
- 60g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. In a small saucepan, warm the pineapple juice and milk over low heat until it’s warm but not hot (around 43°C/110°F). Stir in the melted butter.
Step 2: Mix The Ingredients
Pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Add in the egg. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook or mixing by hand, combine until a smooth, elastic dough forms, about 8-10 minutes on medium speed or by hand.
Step 3: First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free area until it doubles in size, about 1-2 hours.
Step 4: Shape The Rolls
Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Second Rise
Cover the rolls loosely again and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes until they are puffy.
Step 6: Bake The Rolls
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 7: Cooling and Finishing
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with melted butter for an extra glossy finish. Let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy these warm, soft and sweet rolls straight out of the oven or at room temperature.
