Copycat King's Hawaiian Bread Rolls Recipe

Love King's Hawaiian bread rolls? Once you try them homemade, you'll never go back to storebought again. So easy to make and so soft inside you won't be able to stop eating them!

Serves:1 dozen rolls

Ingredients

1 pkg (2-1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm milk, (120F)
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1-3/4 teaspoons salt
3-1/2 to 4 cups white whole wheat flour
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a large stand mixer attached with a dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let stand 5 minutes then whisk in pineapple juice, sugar, oil, egg, and salt until combined.
2. With mixer running on low, add 3-1/2 cups flour to liquid mixture and mix until dough pulls away from sides of bowl (if dough seems too sticky, add 1 tablespoon flour at a time until dough is smooth and tacky)
3. Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a large greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
4. Punch risen dough down and divide into 12 pieces. Roll dough pieces into smooth balls and place in a greased 9x13 baking pan. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place 30 minutes or until doubled.
5. Remove plastic wrap from pan and gently brush rolls with beaten egg white and honey. Bake rolls at 375F 25 minutes or until golden-brown. Let rolls cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove from pan and serve warm.

Recipe Notes
Store rolls in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days. Rolls may also be frozen up to 2 months.
