Description
Soft, slightly sweet homemade Hawaiian bread is a treat to eat, perfect for sandwiches or toast, and so easy to make in your own oven.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup milk (warm)
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 envelope active dry yeast (I prefer Red Star Platinum yeast)
- 3 – 3 1/2 cups flour
Instructions
- combine pineapple juice, milk, melted butter, egg, sugar,vanilla, salt, and yeast
- stir in 3 cups of flour,
- knead, adding additional flour if needed, until you have a soft, smooth ball of dough (about 5 minutes if using the dough hook of a stand mixer)
- cover, and let rise until doubled – about 1 hour
- grease a standard loaf pan
- punch down dough, press into a rectangle, fold into thirds (top over middle, and then bottom over top), and place seam side down in prepared pan
- cover and let rise 45 minutes
- heat oven to 350 degrees
- bake 20 – 25 minutes until the top is dark golden brown
- cool in pan 5 minutes, and then turn out onto a rack to complete cooling
Notes
This Hawaiian bread can also easily be made into rolls – after the first rising, simply divide the dough into 16 pieces, roll, and place in a greased baking dish, cover and rise 45 minutes, and then bake @350 for 15-20 minutes.
