Measure the pineapple juice, milk, and butter. Warm the liquid ingredients slightly to about 100Β°F to ensure proper yeast activation.
In the bread machine pan, add the wet ingredients (pineapple juice, milk, melted butter, and cracked egg).
Carefully add the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Spread the dry ingredients evenly over the wet ingredients in the pan to create a distinct layer.
Make a small well in the center of the flour layer, and add the instant yeast there. Ensure the yeast does not touch the wet ingredients at this stage.
Place the bread machine pan in the machine and select the 'Sweet' or 'Basic' bread setting, with a 1.5 lb loaf size and desired crust color (light, medium, or dark).
Start the bread machine and let it handle mixing, kneading, proofing, and baking.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.
