Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup canned pineapple juice room temperature
  • 1/2 cup warm milk 100 – 110°F
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 whole eggs lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons 1 packet instant yeast
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour

For Brushing the Rolls

  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine the pineapple juice, milk, melted butter, eggs, sugar, salt and yeast. Stir well to combine.
  • Add half of the flour to the wet mixture and stir until a batter starts to form. Gradually start adding in the remaining flour until a shaggy dough starts to form, it will be quite sticky. You may not need to use all of the flour depending on the humidity of your room. Once it all comes together and you have a sticky dough, you are ready to knead the dough.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 - 8 minutes or until it's elastic and bounces back when touched. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise until it doubles in size, between 1 - 1 - 1/2 hours.
  • Punch down the risen dough and form it into a ball again. Cut it into 15 equal parts. Form each part into a round dough ball.
  • Place all the dough balls in a lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking tray. Cover and leave to rise for another 1 - 1 1/2 hours or until they have doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F/190 C.
  • Lightly brush the tops of the uncooked rolls with a beaten egg. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and brush with melted butter if desired.
  • Pull apart and serve.
