Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup pineapple juice, canned, room temperature
- ½ cup whole milk, warmed to 100-110°F
- 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 ¾ – 4 cups bread flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 egg, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, warm milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and yeast. Stir until mixed well.
- Add all-purpose flour and 3 cups of bread flour. Mix until a rough dough forms, then add salt and mix again. Gradually add more bread flour until the dough is slightly sticky but manageable.
- Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes with a stand mixer or 8-10 minutes by hand until smooth and elastic.
- Grease a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 ½ hours or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide into 15 equal pieces, and shape into smooth balls.
- Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, brushing the tops with eggwash. Cover and let rise again for about 1 hour or until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure that milk is warmed but not too hot as it can kill the yeast.
These rolls are perfect for serving alongside meals or as a sweet treat.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
