Love the store bought?  You’ll like these even better!

I love King’s Hawaiian rolls.  Doesn’t everybody???

Unfortunately, I can only get them in Aldi and Aldi doesn’t always have them (maybe lucky for my butt LOL).  So I went looking for a recipe and a recipe where I had all the ingredients.

Many recipes vary wildly in ingredients–going from pineapple juice to crushed pineapple to even condensed milk and no pineapple.  Yikes, try to decide.  Anyway I found one that looked simple and easily adaptable for bread machines, where I will make this in future.  The recipe I used came from Noreen’s Kitchen.  

I made 1/2 this recipe.  The way I divided the eggs was used 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk.  I reserved the white for brushing the tops of the rolls.  However, after I did this, I do not recommend it.  Most recipes call for brushing with melted butter AFTER they finish baking and after trying mine, I see why the other recipes call for doing that–it makes the roll softer and since the rolls are already baked, they will not slightly deflate from the pressure of a pastry brush.  Anyone following me making these via my Facebook fan page knows this story and why I don’t recommend it.  However, the rolls tasted WONDERFUL and was well worth the effort.




Hawaiian Rolls

  • 7-8 cups flour
  • 5 tsp INSTANT yeast (aka bread machine yeast)
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup instant potato flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup WHOLE milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla

In microwave or small saucepan, heat milk with butter, until butter melts.  Cool slightly (very warm to the touch).

In a large stand mixer fitted with the paddle blade, combine 3 cups of flour, sugar, potato flakes, salt, milk mixture, pineapple juice, water vanilla and yeast.  Beat until well mixed, about 3-5 minutes.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Change paddle blade for dough hook.

Add remaining flour, one cup at a time, adding only enough flour to make a soft and slightly sticky dough.  Dough is supposed to be very soft and sticky, so resist using more to form a stiffer dough.  Knead with dough hook for 5 minutes. If you don’t have a mixer with a dough hook, manually mix in the flour as directed for the dough hook, and knead about 8 minutes.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with greased plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise until double.  This will take at least 1 hour.

When dough has doubled in volume, gently deflate dough. Turn out on a non-stick work surface, cover and let rest for 5 minutes.

Grease or spray two 13 x 9-inch baking pans.  Cut dough into 2 ounce portions and roll into balls to shape.  Place in prepared pans, spacing evenly apart, but keeping in mind you want them to touch each other once risen.  I placed mine about 1/2-3/4″ apart.

Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until double; 45-60 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Uncover and place pans in hot oven.  Bake for 20-30 minutes or until tops of rolls are nicely browned.

Remove from oven and brush with melted butter if desired.

Makes 36 (approx) rolls.
