Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
Moist, fluffy Hawaiian Sweet Rolls are a staple you will want to use for all your weekday meals. Whether you use them for sliders, sides, or just eat them as-is like me, they will be gone in no time with how sweet and buttery-soft they are!
Servings: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- ¼ cup warm milk
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast, 1 packet
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup softened unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk for egg wash
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together ¼ cup warm milk, 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Allow the yeast mixture to sit for about 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.
- Once the yeast is ready, add ½ cup pineapple juice, ¼ cup softened unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg, 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, and ½ teaspoon salt. Using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed to bring the dough together, about 5 minutes. *You should have a sticky dough at this point, you may want to add more flour in ¼ cup increments with the mixer on medium-low speed.*
- Once all the ingredients have come together and you have the desired dough consistency, increase the mixer speed to a medium-high speed and knead for about 3-4 minutes to develop gluten. The dough will pull away from the sides of the bowl but still be pretty sticky. Continue to mix until the dough is smooth.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Let the dough rise until doubled, about 2 hours.
- Once the dough has doubled in size punch the dough down in the bowl and then split into 12 equal pieces and form into balls.
- Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan and place the rolls in the pan. Cover with plastic wrapt that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Allow the rolls to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- When the rolls are almost doubled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine 1 egg yolk with 2 tablespoons water and brush the egg wash over the top of the rolls.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm or room temperature.
