Hawaiian Bread Is Here!

For those of you out there who love Kings Hawaiian Rolls but hate how much they cost this post is for you! (For those of you who have never tried Kings Hawaiian Rolls I pity you and your sad sad lives). I tried these out on the family this past Easter Sunday and they went over pretty well. Jon thinks the pineapple is too strong, but he's wrong. I found the recipe somewhere online and-as is my wont-messed around with it a bit. I'll probably change it up a little next time because I'd like it a little more airy, but they're still D-lish!

For the recipe



Hawaiian Bread Recipe (makes 3 loaves or about 36 large rolls)
Ingredients:
6 cups all-purpose flour, plus ½-1 cup flour
4 large eggs (+ 1 for an egg wash if using)
2 cups pineapple juice
1cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tsp salt
5 tsp yeast
1/2 cup butter, softened
Directions:
Add the eggs, pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla, yeast and butter to a stand mixer and beat 3 min on high. Add salt and mix in then slowly add 6 cups of flour while kneading with dough hook until well-combined. Cover the bowl with a cloth and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour or until doubled. Knead in the extra ½-1 cup flour. You want a dough that is sticky, but not gooey and NOT dry to the touch. Place in greased and floured loaf pans or shape into rolls and just bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Cover and place in a warm place to rise for 1 hour. Brush with an egg wash if desired and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or golden brown.
