In a small saucepan, heat the pineapple juice and milk until warm, about 110°F (43°C). Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm liquid and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine.
Gradually add in 4 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment until the dough begins to come together.
If needed, gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of flour to achieve a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Punch the dough down gently and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
Place the dough balls into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, spacing them evenly.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
