Ingredients
- 2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp butter softened
- 1 egg
- 3-4 cups flour
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup sugar optional
Instructions
- Combine 1/4 cup warmed water with yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set aside until foamy. If your mixture does not foam up, your yeast may no longer be good or you need to find a warmer spot for it. Do not move on if your mixture does not foam.
- In a large bowl add 3 cups of flour, sugar, salt, butter, egg, yeast mixture, and pineapple juice. Mix together until well combined. Add in additional flour until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead mixture by hand for 7-10 minutes, or in a stand mixer for 3-5 minutes. Shape into a ball, place back into bowl, and let rise for an hour, or until doubled in size.
- 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 or until doubled in size.
- Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Top with a little more butter if desired when they are fresh from the oven.
