Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (1)

I am totally smitten with these soft pillowy Hawaiian Rolls. There's just something about a lightly sweetened roll that makes the angels sing, and my heart warm.

These are a copy cat of those delicious Hawaiian Rolls you find at the grocery store, but even better because they come fresh and warm from the oven.

I know some of you are scared of our little friend called yeast, but I promise you it's really not as scary as it seems. Tips when making yeast breads:

  1. Make sure non of the ingredients are too warm, if I don't have a thermometer handy the easiest way I find to make sure the milk isn't too hot is by pressing my wrist against the outside of the bowl like when the kids were little, and you would check their bottles to make sure they weren't too warm if it burns it's too hot and let it cool.
  2. Make sure your yeast is fresh. If the yeast doesn't become foamy the rolls won't rise.
  3. Having enough patience to let the dough rise, especially the final rise where the rolls double in size to become nice and fluffy.

See nothing to be scared of with these rolls. As my kids would say easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Here's how to make Hawaiian Rolls:

Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (2)

In a large mixer fitted with a dough hook combine:

  • 1/4 cup Milk warmed to no hotter the 110 degrees
  • 1/4 cup Butter, Melted
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons Yeast, or 1 packet

Mix everything together and let it sit for about 5-8 minutes until mixture looks a bit foamy.

Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (3)

Add 2/3 cup pineapple juice, and 1/3 cup crushed pineapple.

Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (4)

Beat 2 eggs well. Add eggs to the yeast pineapple mixture, and mix until combined. Add 4 cups All-Purpose Flour, and sprinkle 1 teaspoon Salt evenly over flour. Mix on medium- low speed until most of the flour has been absorbed.

Turn speed to medium and knead until dough is soft but not sticky when touched add 1 tablespoon at a time of additional flour as needed to make a soft dough but not sticky up to an additional 1/4 cup.

Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (5)

Butter a medium bowl well. Place dough in bowl and butter the top of dough. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel.

Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (6)

Set bowl in a warm area and let rise until doubled in size about 1-1 1/2 hours.

Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (7)

Gently remove dough from bowl and divide dough into 2. Divide each half into 8 equal sized pieces. Gently pull top of dough down and pinch at the bottom to make a smooth ball.

Please forgive my nails they were in some major need of some TLC.

Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (8)

Grease (1) 9"x13" pan and (1) 8"round cake pan with butter. Evenly space 12 rolls in 9"x13" pan and 4 rolls in cake pan. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Place rolls in a warm area free of drafts until doubled in size about 45minutes -1 hour.

Tip: Before second rise rolls can be refrigerated and baked later. If rolls are refrigerated remove from refrigerator about 1hour 15minutes before baking and allow to double in size.

Bake rolls in a 350 degree preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.


Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (9)

Brush warm buns with butter and allow to cool.

This was all that was left of the Hawaiian Dinner Rolls by the time I went to take a picture and I had to fight tooth and nail to keep the kids from devouring the last of the rolls only because I was out of crushed pineapple to make another batch.

Hawaiian Rolls Recipe (10)

I think that's a pretty gorgeous roll. We had run out of butter but it was delicious with a little raspberry jam. A perfect breakfast treat with my cup of tea.
