Hawaiian Rolls Recipe
Fluffy & Sweet Homemade Rolls Recipe
Equipment
- stand mixer & bowl
- 9 x 13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm milk (average temp 105 degrees)
- 1 tsp white granulated sugar
- 1 cup 100%npineapple juice (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 TBS milk (glazing tops of rolls)
- 2 TBS butter (glazing tops of rolls)
Instructions
- In stand mixer bowl place warm milk, yeast, and 1 tsp of sugar. Whisk together and allow to sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Should be foamy and doubled in size.
- Add in pineapple juice, 1/2 cup white sugar, melted butter, salt and eggs. Using the dough hook in stand mixer blend these ingredients together.
- Start incorporating 1 cup of flour at a time while mixing on slow speed with dough hook until all four cups of flour have been incorporated. If dough is still sticky add an additional 1/2 cup and mix. Dough should pull away from sides and gather around the dough hook.
- Ramp up speed to a 3-4 to knead the dough for 10 minutes. Add additional flour (2 TBS or so) if needed to allow dough to form in a smooth ball.
- Remove dough from bowl onto a clean lightly floured work surface. Knead for just one minute and pull sides of dough underneath to form ball of dough.
- Place dough ball into a lightly greased clean bowl and roll the dough until it's all covered with oil. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm draft free area for 1 1/2 hours to double in size. (I like to use the microwave, but don't turn it on.)
- Punch the dough down a few times to remove air. Remove dough from bowl onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out to 1/2 inch. Cut into 20 same size pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a circled and place into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Finish rolling the rest of dough pieces and place right next to each other in dish, leaving no space between.
- Cover with towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise a second time for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove plastic wrap and then brush milk on top of the rolls.
- Bake for 16-20 minutes until rolls are golden brown. (A toothpick through the center of roll should come out clean.)
- Brush tops of rolls with butter. Enjoy.
