In a bowl, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Allow to cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and warm water.
Add the foamy yeast mixture and the egg mixture to the bowl with the flour.
Mix until a sticky dough forms. You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
Continue kneading the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it onto a floured surface.
Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Place the dough balls into a greased baking dish, making sure they are just touching one another.
Cover the dish with the cloth again and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free Hawaiian rolls warm for the best flavor.
