Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the pineapple juice, whole milk, and unsalted butter over medium heat until the butter is melted. Let the mixture cool to about 110°F (43°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm pineapple milk mixture with active dry yeast and granulated sugar. Allow it to sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
Add brown sugar, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, about 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a smooth dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic.
Place the 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 to 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air and divide it into 16 equal portions. Form each portion into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover again and let rise for another 30-40 minutes or until nearly doubled.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and brush with melted butter for an extra soft and shiny crust.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
