Combine 1/4 cup warmed water with yeast and sugar. Set aside until foamy.
In a large bowl (I use my stand mixer) combine remaining ingredients, except pineapple juice.
Add in water and yeast mixture and 1/2 cup juice. Mix together, adding in remaining juice if needed.
Knead mixture for 7-10 minutes. Shape into a ball, place back into bowl, and let rise for an hour, until doubled.
Place dough onto counter and divide into 12 sections (roughly 2.5 oz each). Shape into a ball and place on a baking sheet to rise four about another hour.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Top with a little more butter if desired
