In a small saucepan over low heat, combine whole milk and unsalted butter. Heat until the butter melts completely. Remove from heat and let it cool to lukewarm.
Stir in honey and pineapple juice into the warm milk mixture.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the egg, then add the foamy yeast mixture to it.
Add the all-purpose flour, potato flour, and brown sugar to the wet ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls onto a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, leaving a little space between them for expansion.
Cover the pan with a cloth and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from oven and brush the tops with a little melted butter if desired. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
