Bread Machine Hawaiian Rolls

Soft homemade Hawaiian rolls baked together in a rectangular casserole dish.

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.
