Hawaiian Sweet Bread

Hawaiian sweet bread has a unique tropical taste. It includes pineapple juice and coconut oil to replace some butter. The King Hawaiian rolls sold in the supermarket cannot compare the taste of this one. The recipes are numerous, but mine is simple using a bread machine to assist. The dough a little soft, but do not use any flour to shape the dough. This recipe is manageable and makes a lovely light bread for eating alone or serving with dinner.

Ingredients:
6 oz pineapple juice
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup coconut oil
Zest of one lemon
3 cups bread flour
2 tsp active dry yeast

Baking 13” x 9” pan
Egg wash

Directions:
Place all the ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed above. Select the dough setting and press start. When the dough has risen long enough, the machine will make a. Remove dough and let dough rest in a bowl for 5 minutes.
Butter a 13” x 9” pan . Divide dough into 12 portions.

Dust your hands lightly with flour and roll each portion into a roughly shaped ball. Place each ball into the prepared pan. 

Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise until double in size (a5 minutes). Beat an egg with a little water.

Use a pastry brush to brush egg wash on the top of rolls.

Preheat oven to 350° and bake roll for 20 minutes. Remove rolls from the oven and cover with a kitchen towel to cool off (this will keep dough soft when cooling).
