Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅔ cup canned pineapple juice (room temperature)
  • ½ cup warm milk (110℉)
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 4 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, mix pineapple juice, warm milk, and brown sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Gradually add flour, beaten egg, vanilla extract, salt, and melted butter to the mixture while mixing on low speed.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and slightly tacky (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
  5. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and divide into 15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place seam-side down in a greased baking pan.
  6. Cover rolls with plastic wrap or a towel again and allow them to rise for another hour.
  7. Preheat oven to 375℉. Brush rolls with egg wash before baking for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Brush warm rolls with melted butter before serving.
