Fluffy, golden, and infused with a burst of tropical sweetness, these Jumbo Pineapple Yeast Rolls are the ultimate upgrade to your standard dinner roll. Featuring the rich, zesty flavor of pineapple juice and a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture, these generously sized rolls strike the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The dough is kneaded to perfection, then brushed with melted butter for an irresistible gloss, and optionally topped with pineapple chunks for an extra tropical flair. Ideal for brunches, holiday gatherings, or a touch of paradise at your dinner table, these soft yeast rolls are as versatile as they are delectable. Plus, with easy-to-follow steps and approachable ingredients, baking up a batch of these pineapple-infused delights is a breeze, even for beginners.
In a small saucepan, heat the pineapple juice, milk, and unsalted butter until warm (about 45°C/110°F). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Add the granulated sugar and active dry yeast to the warm liquid mixture. Stir well and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture is frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Pour the liquid yeast mixture into the well. Add the two eggs and mix with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-6 minutes using the stand mixer, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Grease a large mixing bowl with a light coating of oil, then place the dough inside, turning it to coat the top. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
While the rolls are still warm, brush them with melted butter for a glossy finish. Optionally, garnish with small pineapple chunks.
Serve warm and enjoy the fluffy, tropical delight!
