Ensure your bread machine pan and paddle are clean and dry before starting.
Pour 1 cup of crushed pineapple (with its juice) into the bread machine pan.
Add 0.25 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, making sure the butter is in small chunks for even mixing.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 0.5 teaspoons of salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add 3 cups of bread flour to the bread machine pan, carefully creating a layer over the liquids to prevent early mixing.
Make a small well in the center of the flour without reaching the liquid layer below. Add 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast into the well.
Place the pan into the bread machine and secure it properly. Select the 'Basic' or 'Sweet Bread' setting, depending on your machine’s options.
Choose the light or medium crust option, depending on your preference.
Press 'Start' and let the bread machine do its work as it kneads, rises, and bakes the pineapple bread.
When the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.
