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 or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine pineapple juice, warm milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and yeast. Stir until combined.
- Add all-purpose flour and 3 cups of bread flour. Mix until a rough dough forms, then add salt and mix again. Gradually add remaining 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.
- Lightly grease a large bowl, place the dough inside, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 ½ hours or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide it into 15 equal pieces, and shape each into a ball.
- Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, brush tops with egg wash, 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 or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, brush with melted butter, and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Ensure the milk is at the correct temperature to activate the yeast.
For a richer flavor, let the butter cool slightly before mixing it with the other wet ingredients.
These rolls can be served warm or at room temperature.
