In a mixing bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, warm water, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
Add instant yeast to the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Stir in non-fat Greek yogurt, light margarine, egg whites, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a spoon or using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf or divide it into small rolls.
Place the shaped dough into a lightly greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the shaped dough again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
