Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted for topping)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the pineapple juice until lukewarm. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour and the instant yeast. Mix well.
In another bowl, mix the lukewarm pineapple juice, melted unsalted butter, honey, and sugar. Stir in the two beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and ground ginger until combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, mixing with a wooden spoon or stand mixer with a dough hook attachment until a sticky dough begins to form.
If the dough is excessively sticky, gradually add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl but remains tacky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces, shaping each piece into a ball. Place the dough balls into a greased baking pan, arranging them so they touch slightly.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and allow the rolls to rise for another 30-40 minutes, until almost doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the tops of the dough balls with melted unsalted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and brush immediately with more melted butter, if desired.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Low Sodium Hawaiian Sweet Rolls!
