60 Minute Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

These Hawaiian Sweet Rolls use pineapple juice, milk, sugar, butter, yeast, egg, vanilla, bread flour, and salt to create soft, slightly sweet dinner rolls in about an hour. The dough is kneaded to smooth elasticity, allowed a brief rise, then shaped into rolls. The pineapple juice adds a mild fruity sweetness, making these rolls suitable for a range of meals.

Description

The 60 Minute Hawaiian Sweet Rolls recipe blends pineapple juice, milk, and sugar warmed with butter to create a pleasant liquid base, which is cooled before yeast is added to activate fermentation. An egg and vanilla extract enrich the dough, contributing to its soft crumb and mellow aroma. Bread flour and salt provide structure and flavor. The dough is mixed with gradual flour additions until it cleans the bowl and is kneaded until smooth and elastic but still slightly sticky.

After a brief rise in a greased bowl, the dough is divided and shaped into rolls. The pineapple juice is the key to the rolls' characteristic slight sweetness and subtle tropical fruit flavor. The yeast needs time to foam and activate in the warm liquid, which supports the bread's rise during baking.

These rolls work well as a side for various dishes where a slightly sweet bread is welcome. The recipe notes that nutrition values are estimates, implying a practical homemade approach rather than strict dietary control.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 3/4 c pineapple juice
  • 1/4 c milk low-fat
  • 1/4 c granulated sugar
  • 1/4 c butter divided
  • 3 ½ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 egg large
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½-3 c bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp . salt

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, stir pineapple juice, milk, sugar, and 2 tablespoons butter together. Heat over low heat just until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to about 100-105 F.
  2. Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
  3. Add the yeast, and let stand for 5-10 minutes, or until yeast is foamy.
  4. Mix in egg and vanilla until combined.
  5. Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
  6. With the mixer still going, add remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Mix about 1 ½ minutes, or until dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl.
  7. Knead on low speed for about 2 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic – the dough will still be slightly sticky to the touch.
  8. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top. Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel.
  9. Let it rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 15 minutes.
  10. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 12 pieces for rolls or 7 pieces for buns.
  11. Form each piece into a ball and place on greased pan. I use a quarter sheet pan.
  12. Cover the pan with the dish towel, and let the dough rise for about 20 minutes.
  13. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Set aside
  14. Bake at 400ºF for about 8-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
  15. Brush rolls with remaining melted butter.
