Hawaiian Bread Machine Recipe
These bread balls are fluffy and taste sweet. You can roll them into balls if you prefer rolls to sliced bread.
Difficulty: Beginner
Yield: 1 ½ pound loaf
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Ready In: 3 hours
Bake Time: 25-30 minutes
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- 2 beaten eggs
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ stick unsalted butter
- 4 ½ cups bread flour
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- 2 ½ teaspoon bread machine yeast
Directions
- In a separate saucepan, heat the pineapple juice, butter, and milk until they are at room temperature.
- If you are using Packet yeast, mix it with a little warm water and let it foam for about 10 minutes before mixing with the other dry ingredients. If you are using bread machine yeast, skip this step.
- The ingredients you will need for this recipe are sugar, eggs, salt, flour, and yeast. You will want to slowly pour water into the mixture while mixing it together.
- To make sweet bread in your bread machine, press the “sweet bread” setting.
- The crust color should be light or medium, depending on what you like.
When making rolls
- After you mix all the ingredients, put them in the bread machine. Push the dough cycle button.
- When the dough is cooked, a beeping sound will come from the bread machine.
- After the dough rises the first time, punch it down and then shape it into small rolls. The recommended size should be no bigger than a golf ball so they will fit in a 9 by 13 inches pan.
- Put a little oil on the pan.
- Leave the rolls to rise until they are twice their size. This should only take an hour or less.
- Put butter on the rolls.
- Put them in the oven for 20 minutes at 190-200 degrees Fahrenheit. The outside will change to a golden brown color.
- If you want, you can brush more butter on the rolls.
- Serve!
