Bread Machine Hawaiian Rolls

Bread machine Hawaiian rolls get their lightly sweet flavor from pineapple juice, coconut flakes, and cane or coconut sugar. The bread machine mixes and kneads the dough, then the rolls are shaped and baked in a casserole dish until golden. This recipe makes 12 soft rolls for dinner, sliders, or sandwiches.

Use the dough cycle recommended for your machine; Dr. J’s KBS setting 12 takes 1 hour and 24 minutes. After shaping, the dough rises in the dish for an hour before baking. The source suggests spooning and leveling the flour for a lighter result, and brushing the warm rolls with melted salted butter is optional.

Method

 

1. Add the pineapple juice, egg, oil, bread flour, coconut flakes, sugar, salt, and bread-machine yeast to the bread-machine pan in the order recommended for your machine.
2. Select the dough cycle. On Dr. J’s KBS machine, setting 12 (Leavened Dough) takes 1 hour and 24 minutes.
3. Prepare a 9 × 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray, softened butter, or coconut oil. When the cycle ends, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or gently roll it into an approximately 9 × 13-inch rectangle.
4. Cut the dough into three equal long strips, then cut each strip crosswise into four pieces to make 12 portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place the balls in the prepared dish.
5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm area for 1 hour, until the rolls have puffed. During the last 20 minutes, preheat the oven to 375°F (about 190°C).
6. Remove the plastic wrap and bake on the middle rack for 17–20 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Brush with melted butter if desired. Serve warm, or cool completely on a baking rack before storing in an airtight container.

Shaping 12 Hawaiian rolls

After the bread machine finishes the dough cycle, pat or gently roll the dough into a 9 × 13-inch rectangle. Cutting it into three long strips and then four pieces across each strip gives 12 portions to shape into rolls.

Rising and baking

Let the shaped rolls rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 hour. Preheat the oven during the final 20 minutes of that rise, then bake until the tops are golden brown. Melted salted butter can be brushed over the rolls after baking if desired.
