Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm whole milk
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons additional melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, pineapple juice, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the liquid mixture and let it sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook if using a stand mixer. Continue adding flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 7-10 minutes (or for 5 minutes if using a stand mixer) until smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball.
Place the dough balls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, spacing them slightly apart.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a towel, and let the rolls rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Brush the warm rolls with additional melted butter for a glossy finish.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
