Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup butter, softened

Add pineapple juice and whole milk and continue to heat gently until mixture reaches 110° to 115°. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, potato flakes, sugar, salt and ginger. Add yeast and butter mixtures to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough; dough will be sticky. , Turn dough onto a floured surface; with floured hands, knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes, adding more flour to surface and hands as needed. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/4 hours., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Shape each into a ball. Place in 3 greased 9-in. round baking pans lined with parchment. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake until golden brown and internal temperature of loaves reaches 200°, 30-35 minutes, covering loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if needed to prevent tops from over-browning. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

HAWAIIAN SWEET ROLLS (BREAD MACHINE)



Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (Bread Machine) image

Every time I make these rolls, I get raving compliments! This is an excellent potluck dish! It is very important to use McCormick brand coconut extract for the right flavor! For the fluffiest rolls, make sure all the ingredients and the kitchen are warm. This was intended to be a copycat of King's Hawaiian Rolls, but according to my husband, these taste way better when done right!

Provided by Pale Rose

Categories     Breads

Time 3h20m

Yield 12-15 rolls, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup 100% pineapple juice
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1 -2 teaspoon mccormick coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup potato flakes
3 1/2 cups flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
butter, for brushing on roll tops

Steps:

  • Bring all cold ingredients to room temperature (pineapple juice, egg, milk, butter). This will take about 30 minutes, but you can speed it up a little bit with the microwave if you're not feeling patient.
  • Add the pineapple juice to your bread machine.
  • Beat the egg and add to your bread machine.
  • Add the milk to your bread machine.
  • Divide the butter into small pieces (no larger than 1 tablespoon) and add to the bread machine.
  • Add McCormick coconut extract, ground ginger, salt, sugar, potato flakes, and flour to the bread machine, in that order.
  • Make a small well in the flour, and pour the yeast in the well.
  • Run your bread machine on the dough cycle to knead the dough.
  • After the kneading cycle, let the dough rise until doubled in size - about 1 hour. (I let mine rise in the bread machine).
  • Grease a 13"x9" pan.
  • Divide the dough into 12-15 rolls and place next to each other in the pan (this will get them soft sides).
  • IMPORTANT! Sometimes the dough will be a little sticky to handle while you're doing this (and that's okay!). Do NOT even think about adding more flour! I mean it! I can't stress that enough! It will toughen your rolls. You can try greasing your hands with cooking spray if you want them to be easier to handle. If that still doesn't work, then just enjoy the stickiness knowing that your rolls will be nice and fluffy!
  • Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size - about 1 hour - in a warm place. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Bake rolls in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden on top.
  • Immediately upon removing the rolls from the oven, brush the tops with butter.
  • Let cool in the pan until the rolls are cool enough to handle. Then remove from pan.
  • TIP: If you will not be eating the rolls right away, transfer the rolls to a large enough bowl to hold them. Place a lid on top and vent it, taking care that no rolls touch the lid. Closing the airflow off while they are warm will make the rolls soggy. Leaving them out in open air will make the rolls crusty. Keeping them in a vented bowl until they are completely cool is very important for obtaining soft rolls! Once the rolls are completely cool, seal the bowl.

Great for sliders and light Summer fare, these are better than store-bought. Found on a bread machine forum: thanks CaliforniaBreadMaker for posting a great recipe! *The original recipe called for 1/4 cup of milk but after making these twice and adding more, I corrected it to 1/2 cup: it may be my bread machine, so add the milk carefully, but with 1/2 cup it turned out perfectly for me :-)

Categories     Breads

Time 2h20m

Yield 12 rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup milk (*)
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons butter
1 potatoes, mashed or 6 ounces prepared mashed potatoes
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons yeast

Steps:

  • Prepare the bread machine: Combine ingredients as recommended my your machine's manufacturer.Use the dough setting.
  • After the cycle, turn out onto a floured surface and preheat the oven to 350.
  • Stretch dough into a log and with a sharp knife cut into 12 pieces.
  • Use a 9x13x2 greased baking pan. Let it rise for an hour to 90 minutes.
  • Brush with milk and bake at 350 degrees x20 minutes.
  • Cover with aluminum foil after 10 minutes to prevent burning**.
  • Note on directions:
  • **One baker used a glass Pyrex dish, like you would use for lasagna,lined it, ungreased, with waxed paper. Raised and baked it as directed, and it did not require the aluminum to prevent burning. I make these in a lower oven shelf and also haven't needed to cover them up.

KING'S HAWAIIAN SWEET BREAD - REVISED



King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread - REVISED image

I'm a big fan of King's Hawaiian Sweet bread. What I'm not a fan of is the high price to buy it when making it at home is not only convenient and fresh, but much less cost. I scoured the web for this sweet bread and found several variations, all of which I tested but not satisfied of being like King's. Many of the recipes I have found on the web incorporate "pineapple juice". While you certainly can replace some or all of the water with juice, I did not notice this ingredient on the King's bread package. The main ingredients (those listed first on the package) are Flour, Water, Sugar, Liquid Sugar (sugar water), butter and eggs. Then comes (in smaller percentages) the yeast, potato flour, whey, nonfat milk, salt and datem. After that are listed elements that I quickly determined to be a dough conditioner. I made my own by searching online. You can use any dough conditioner you prefer.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 1 Loaf, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 cup potato flour
12 ounces sugar water (110-115 degrees)
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup powdered milk
2 tablespoons dough enhancer

Steps:

  • To make the sugar water, in a small bowl use 1 cup of boiling water and dissolve 3/4 cup of sugar. You can add more if you like as long as it fully dissolves.
  • Once the sugar water temperature drops into the 100-115 degree range, add the yeast and ginger.
  • In another small bowl, add the eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla and mix until all well incorporated.
  • Allow the melted butter to cool down (but not go solid). Take a spoonful of the egg/sugar mixture and mix with the melted butter to 'temper' it, then pour the melted butter into the egg/sugar mixture and mix well. You do not want to just pour hot butter into the egg mixture as it could 'cook' the egg and form curds.
  • In the mixer, put in the bread flour, potato flour, dough conditioner and powdered milk and briefly mix.
  • Once the yeast mixture has foamed, start the mixer on low and pour in the yeast mixture and then the egg mixture.
  • Once the ingredients are mixed thoroughly, stop mixing and let it rest about 10 minutes.
  • Start the kneading process. The dough should feel a little 'tacky' to the touch but should not stick to your hand and fingers when you pull it away. Knead for at least 10 minutes and then test it using the 'window pane' test.
  • Once the dough is well kneaded, form a ball by pulling the sides of the dough under itself to form a tight skin on top.
  • Lightly coat a bowl with oil (I use a cooking spray) and place your dough ball in it, rolling the ball in the bowl to coat it. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for about 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
  • When dough has doubled, place on a floured surface and hand knead for about 30 seconds, then form it into a ball again by tucking the sides under.
  • Lightly spray a pie tin with oil and place the dough ball in it. Cover with a large bowl or plastic wrap and let it rise again for 1 hour in a warm place, or until it has risen to cover the bottom of the tin with a nice dome.
  • 30 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 350 deg. and set an oven rack for baking in the middle/center.
  • Bake in the pie tin on the middle rack for about 40 minutes. You should see a nice golden brown crust and the interior temperature should be about 200 deg. using a fast acting digital thermometer. If the color is achieved but more time is needed, cover the top with aluminum foil to prevent further browning and to allow the inside to continue baking.
  • When done, remove to a cooling rack. You can leave it in the pie tin or remove it and place bread directly on rack. Cool for 30 minutes before tearing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

1 LB ABM HAWAIIAN SWEET BREAD



1 Lb Abm Hawaiian Sweet Bread image

Hawaiian bread very similar to King's. Most recipes on Food.com/Zaar are for 1.5 lb loaves -- tried to reduce amounts with NO success. Came up with this for the 1lb loaf and machine. In all honesty, I used all-purpose flour (all I had in the house) first time making this "modified" recipe -- using tips from several sources and recipes. Absolutely fabulous!

Provided by Trixie735

Categories     Breads

Time 3h35m

Yield 1 1 lb loaf, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup pineapple juice (or orange)
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
2 1/2 tablespoons butter (sliced into smaller pieces) or 2 1/2 tablespoons margarine (sliced into smaller pieces)
3 teaspoons coconut extract
1 pinch ground ginger
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/3 cups bread flour (or all-purpose)
1/3 cup instant potato flakes
1 teaspoon yeast (rapid or quick rising)

Steps:

  • Add ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order listed above.
  • Use light setting and REGULAR bread (not "quick" even though you used rapid-rise yeast).
  • This can be a high-rising bread.
  • Also notable is that I always look at my bread once the machine has warmed up and it begins its first blending -- if it's too dry, I add a little milk or juice, if it's a little "wet" I add flour in teaspoons at a time -- just "eyeballing" the consistency.
  • Your entire house will fill with the aroma of this lovely sweet bread while it bakes!

HAWAIIAN SWEET BREAD



Hawaiian Sweet Bread image

This bread is a great accompaniment to any Hawaiian-themed dinner. The recipe was created to yield three loaves. That way, families could enjoy a fresh baked loaf the same day the bread is baked. And they also could share a loaf with a friend, and they also wound have a third loaf to freeze for sometime in the near future.

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 17

DOUGH
6 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup potato flakes
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger (or ground mace)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 (1/4-oz) pkg active dry yeast
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup pineapple juice, room temperature
3 large eggs
GLAZE
1 large egg, beaten well
1/2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Grease bottom and sides of 3 round (8- or 9-inch) cake pans.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups flour, potato flakes, sugar, salt, ginger (or mace), vanilla and yeast; set aside.
  • 3. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, water and butter until very warm, 120-130°F.
  • 4. Add the warm milk mixture, pineapple juice and eggs to the flour mixture. Beat at low speed of electric mixer just until moistened. Increase speed to medium, and beat at medium speed for 4 minutes. By hand, stir in the flour mixture to form a stiff dough.
  • 5. Transfer dough to lightly floured flat surface, and knead in 1/2 to 1 cup more flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 to 7 minutes. Place dough in lightly greased bowl, turning to grease top of dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and cover with a clean cloth. Set aside in warm (about 80-85°) place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • 6. After doubled in size, punch down dough. Divide dough into 3 parts. Form each dough portion into a round ball. Place dough balls in cake pans, cover and set aside for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • 7. Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).
  • 8. For the optional glaze, whisk the eggs and water together, and brush tops of loaves with the egg wash, then sprinkle sugar on top (if desired).
  • 9. Bake loaves for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped with a knuckle. Remove cake pans from oven, and remove loaves from pans immediately. When cool enough to handle, cut one loaf into 12 wedges and serve immediately.
  • 10. Remaining two loaves can be cooled completely, wrapped in foil, then double-wrapped in plastic wrap, and placed in freezer to be thawed and served later.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Proof the yeast in warm water with a little bit of sugar for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy. This ensures that the yeast is active and will help the bread rise properly.
  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add sweetness, moisture, and a delicious flavor to the bread. Make sure to mash them well before adding them to the dough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: Place the dough in a warm, draft-free place to let it rise. This will help the yeast to work its magic and make the bread light and fluffy.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: Baking the bread at a high temperature (375°F) for a short amount of time (25-30 minutes) will help to create a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian sweet bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and toppings. Whether you are looking for a simple bread to serve with your favorite meal or a sweet treat to enjoy on its own, Hawaiian sweet bread is a great option.
