Sweet Hawiian Rolls, Homemade style!!!

These are a family favorite when it comes to rolls. They are a copy cat of an actual roll called Kings Hawiian Bread/ Roll. I have had the package kind but truly homemade is the BEST!!!! As if the picture(top) isn't enough to crave for one, I'm going to take you through a step-by-step. Enjoy!!!!

So you're going to start out by warming up 1/3 cup of milk.

 15 seconds was long enough.

 Then you add to your warmed milk 1 scant( which is a little under) tablespoon of yeast.

 Mix it all together...

 And let it work.

 In a bread mixer put in 1/4 cup of oil

 And 1/2 cup of brown sugar

  Next, melt a half a stick of butter, which is about a 1/4 cup. I melted that for about...... if I remember about 20 seconds. If not, you can do it longer, just don't make it too hot. It's better if you have a couple pieces still a little not melted

 Pour that in to your mixer

 Next break 2 eggs and scramble them lightly

 In the mixer go the eggs

 I gave it a quick mix just to blend it together

 Then add in your yeast, milk mixture.

 The secret to the rolls, Pineapple juice!!!! The original recipe said you could use juice or a can of crushed pineapple. Whatever you can find :)

 Mix that in, then start adding in your flour. I used Bread Flour( its helps breads and rolls to be lighter) Here is my dough with 1 cup

 2 cups.

 A quick sip of Pineapple juice, delicious!!!!

 All in all, it is 4 cups. The last cup I used regular all purpose flour. You have to let it knead for 10 minutes.

After the 10 minutes, take a bowl and pour in some oil.

 Just enough to cover the bottom( you're going to use it to coat the dough in)

 Here's the dough, it was so soft and beautiful!

 Put it in the bowl face down

 And then flip it over to oiled side up.

 Next get a thin napkin or towel and wet it, only till it's damp.

 Cover the bowl and then place it in a warm area. Once your dough has risen, punch it down and form into little balls, I got 12 out of mine so that they would fit nicely in a 13-9 pan. Butter your pan well!!! Unfortunately I didn't see this part on the original recipe, and so I oiled mine :( But they turned out just as great!

 It takes them quite away to rise so don't worry. Mine rose for an entire afternoon(partly because I forgot they were rising)

 When they are done rising heat your oven to 350', and mix together 1 egg, 1/4 of water, and about 3 tablespoons of melted butter.

 Brush on top of the risen rolls and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Yeah!!!!! TADA!!!!!!! They came out sooo beautiful!!!!! And they were scrumptious!!!! We enjoyed them with butter, but today we toasted them and put butter and strawberry jelly on it. Yummy!!!
Hope you can make these, they are totally worth it!

Hawaiian Sweet Rolls 

1/3 cup milk (cold is fine, warm would help it rise faster)

1 scant tablespoon instant dry yeast

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4  cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted and slightly cooled

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

An 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, NOT drained (about 2/3 cup)

4 cups bread flour (all-purpose would also work)

1 teaspoon salt

For the tops:

1 egg

1/4 cup water

A few tablespoons melted butter

Mix together the milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Add the oil, butter, sugar, eggs, and pineapple and mix to combine. Add the flour about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add a little more if you need to. It should be sticky, but not gooey. Add the salt. Knead for about 10 minutes by hand or in a stand mixer with a dough hook. Cover with a damp cloth (or grease the top) and let rise until doubled (somewhere around 45-60 minutes). Punch the dough down and divide into twelve equal balls. Place in a well buttered 9x13 inch pan and let rise again until doubled (again, 45-60 minutes). Preheat oven to 350ºF. Beat together the egg and water for the top and brush the tops of the risen rolls with the egg wash. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the tops are nicely browned.
