Ingredients:
- 3¼ cups (420g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (120ml) warm pineapple juice
- 0.15 cup (50g) honey
- 2¼ tsp (7g) active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp (5ml) honey
Instructions:
- Combine the warm pineapple juice and 50g honey in a mixer bowl, stir in the active dry yeast, and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the eggs, softened butter, and salt to the yeast mixture.
- Gradually incorporate the flour one cup at a time; knead on medium-low speed for 5–7 minutes until the dough is tacky but pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough, divide into 18 equal pieces, and roll them into smooth balls.
- Place the rolls in a 9x13 inch baking pan, touching slightly, cover, and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until the tops are mahogany-colored and sound hollow when tapped.
- Immediately brush the hot rolls with a glaze made from 14g melted butter and 5ml honey.
