Ingredients

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

Instruction

  • 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.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Add the yeast, and let stand for 5-10 minutes, or until yeast is foamy.
  • Mix in egg and vanilla until combined.
  • Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top. Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel.
  • Let it rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 15 minutes.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 12 pieces for rolls or 7 pieces for buns.
  • Form each piece into a ball and place on greased pan. I use a quarter sheet pan.
  • Cover the pan with the dish towel, and let the dough rise for about 20 minutes.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Set aside
  • Bake at 400ºF for about 8-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
  • Brush rolls with remaining melted butter.
