Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm whole milk
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, melted butter, eggs, salt, and honey. Stir in the yeast mixture.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition, until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 6-8 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with 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 smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.
Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the rolls rise again for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
If desired, brush the tops of the warm rolls with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
