Soft and fluffy bread rolls with a gentle sweetness, perfect for dinner or as a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 3 teaspoons instant yeast
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 whole eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ½ cup whole milk (lukewarm)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 whole egg (for egg wash)
- 2 teaspoons milk (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted for brushing)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix with a whisk until just combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, pineapple juice, milk, and vanilla extract. Using a hook attachment, knead on low speed for 5 minutes.
- Gradually add the softened butter while mixing, and continue for 2 more minutes until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with cling wrap, and allow it to proof for 1½ to 2 hours until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide the dough into 15 equal-sized balls and line them in a 9 x 13 baking dish, arranged in 5 rows of 3.
- Cover the rolls and let them rest for at least another hour until they double in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the dough balls with the egg wash mixture and place the baking tray in the oven.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes until the tops are golden.
- Once they are out of the oven, brush them with melted butter. Allow them to cool for at least 5-7 minutes before serving.
Notes
