Hawaiian Bread Rolls
From Dorothy McNett's recipes at www.dorothymcnett.com. Always an all-time favorite!
1 envelope active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
2 eggs
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup raw sugar
1/2 teaspoon Hawaiian pink sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or vanilla bean paste
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 1/2 cups all purpose unbleached flour
In glass measuring cup combine the yeast and water. In batter bowl, whisk eggs and then whisk in pineapple juice, sugar, salt, ginger, vanilla and the yeast mixture. Blend in the melted butter. Stir in the flour to make a stiff batter. Cover with a cloth napkin or dishtowel and place in a warm draft free place to rise for about 1 hour. Turn out onto a work surface, (if the dough is sticky you wil need about 1/2 - 3/4 cup flour for working and shaping) and shape into rolls, putting them in a baking pan or on a silicone lined baking sheet. Cover and allow to rise about 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake them about 30 - 35 minutes until nicely browned and firm when lightly tapped with your fingers on the top. Cool a bit and serve!
