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.

Conclusion

There you have it—a journey to sweeter days with homemade Sweet Hawaiian Rolls. The soft texture and tropical flavor have the ability to transport you to a laid-back island atmosphere with every bite. The process may require patience, but the reward is well worth the effort. Whether enjoyed as a snack, meal side, or sandwich roll, these rolls promise satisfaction for all those who grace your table with their delightful presence.
