Calories: 191kcal
Ingredients
- 5 cups self-raising flour Note 1
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice Note 2
- 5 tbsp butter softened, Note 3
- 1 cup milk more to brush, Note 4
Optional
- 2 tbsp brown sugar Note 5
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180 C) and line a 8x8-inch baking tin with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, whisk the self-rising flour and salt.5 cups self-raising flour, 1 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tbsp brown sugar
- Add the pineapple juice, softened butter, and milk, and use the dough hook attachment to knead the dough on low speed for 2-3 minutes until you have a smooth and elastic dough.1/2 cup pineapple juice, 5 tbsp butter, 1 cup milk
- Divide the dough into 16 portions to make small dinner bread rolls, or into 8 portions for large bread rolls.
- To shape the dinner rolls, gently pull the outer edges up and towards the center of the dough and pinch them together. Cup your hand over the ball and move your hand in a small circular motion to create tension and nicely shaped dinner rolls.
- Place the shaped rolls into the baking dish side by side. You want the edges to touch. Brush them with extra milk.
- Bake the rolls for 30 minutes until fluffy and golden brown. Remove them from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve while warm. Enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: You can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour and 2 tsp of baking powder.
Note 2: Make sure the pineapple juice is at room temperature and doesn't have any pulp.
Note 3: You can also use unsalted butter and add 1/4 tsp of salt instead.
Note 4: Whole milk works best but you can also use skim milk if needed.
Note 5: I prefer the subtle sweetness from the pineapple juice in the rolls but if you want to make them sweeter, simply add 2 tbsp of sugar alongside the dry ingredients to the dough.
Storage: You can store the Hawaiian bread rolls at room temperature for 3 days. Wrap them in a towel or store them in a bread box. Reheat and enjoy!
