Instructions

  1. Grease 2 9x13-inch pans. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat pineapple juice over medium-low temperature until juice reaches about 105 F.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, stir together yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  4. Once the pineapple juice is at temperature, add to the bowl. Stir, and let the yeast mixture stand for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
  5. Once the yeast is foamy, add the remaining sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and eggs; stir to combine.
  6. Switch from the paddle attachment to the dough hook, and add 3 cups of flour and salt. Stir on low.
  7. Continue adding flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough clears the sides of the bowl. The dough will feel slightly sticky. It takes 5 1/2 cups of flour for my rolls.
  8. Once the dough comes together and clears the sides, continue to knead for about 1 minute.
  9. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and let it rise until dough has doubled in size, about 1 ½ hours.
  10. Shape dough into rolls. If you would like smaller, dinner-sized rolls, shape into 24 rolls. If you would like larger, bun-sized rolls, shape into 12-18 rolls depending on desired size.
  11. Place half of the rolls in each pan.
  12. Cover rolls with plastic wrap, and let rolls rise until doubled, about 1 ½ hours.
  13. Toward the end of the second rise, preheat oven to 350 F.
  14. Bake rolls for about 20 minutes (for dinner-sized rolls), or until rolls are golden brown.
  15. Immediately brush rolls with butter.
  16. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Flour: I've also made these rolls with all-purpose flour when I didn't have any bread flour. I had to add about 1/2-1 cup additional flour for a total of 6-6 1/2 cups flour.
