Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 3/4 cup Pineapple Juice
• 1 large Egg
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
• 4 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 2 1/4 tsp Yeast
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 4 tbsp Butter

You’ll also need a large baking dish, measuring cups, a mixer, and a clean kitchen surface for kneading the dough. Our star ingredient here is the Pineapple Juice – it gives these rolls their distinctive tropical taste. When selecting your pineapple juice, make sure it is 100% pure with no added sugars. Bread Flour can be a good substitute for All-Purpose Flour for a more chewy texture.

How To Make Hawaiian Rolls

1. Start by warming the pineapple juice slightly, then mix the warm juice with the yeast and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
2. Mix in room temperature butter and beaten egg. Gradually add in flour and salt until a sticky dough forms.
3. Flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Then, let the dough rise for about an hour in a warm, covered bowl.
4. Dived the dough into 15 even pieces and roll these into balls. Set them in the baking dish, cover, and let them double in size for about an hour.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 375F for 20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Brush with melted butter right after removing from the oven.

Tips for The Best Results

• Make sure your yeast is fresh and active.
• Don’t over-knead the dough, it may lead to tougher rolls.

Storage Tips

• Hawaiian Rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• They also freeze well. Just wrap them securely and freeze for up to a month.
