HAWAIIAN TEA BREAD



Hawaiian Tea Bread image

I love this bread. It's so moist and versatile. I make it for breakfast, brunch, tea parties, and even desert. I like to use a mini loaf pan and give the loaves as gifts in a gift basket along with other "Hawaiian" treats. I also use valtrompia bread tubes in different shapes and then slice. The slices look so pretty on a plate. If you use the bread tubes, be sure to fold wax paper to fit over both ends of the tubes before fitting the lids on. I learned this recipe when I used to be a consultant for Pampered Chef.

KING'S HAWAIIAN BREAD (COPYCAT)



King's Hawaiian Bread (Copycat) image

We absolutely love this bread. My sister won't buy anything but. It's kinda expensive so when I came across this, I had to add it here so we (Mom, Chris, and I) could always have it and everyone else could enjoy it too. The first time I ever had it, it was with the Spinach Veggie dip...OMGOSH it was DEEEVINE! So...next time you don't wanna spend the money, whip it up yourself! It does take a while...but so worth it!

6 cups all-purpose flour, plus
1/2 cup flour
3 eggs
2 cups pineapple juice
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes yeast
1/2 cup butter (one stick) or 1/2 cup margarine, melted (one stick)

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and flavorful tea bread, use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar.
  • For a richer flavor, use a dark, robust tea like black tea or Pu-erh tea. You can also use flavored teas like Earl Grey or Jasmine tea for a unique twist.
  • To prevent the bread from becoming dry, do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough and dense loaf.
  • For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter or a milk and honey mixture before baking.
