Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) pineapple juice, warmed
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) whole milk, warmed
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Fats and Sugars:
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (7 grams) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) sweetened coconut flakes
- 23 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup crushed pineapple (optional)
Instructions
- Amalgamate dry ingredients – flour, sugar, salt, and yeast – in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Incorporate warmed pineapple juice, milk, eggs, and liquefied butter into the dry mixture, creating a cohesive, supple dough.
- Vigorously knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until achieving a silky, elastic consistency.
- Transfer the dough to a generously greased receptacle, envelop with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to proof in a draft-free, temperate environment.
- Monitor the dough’s expansion, waiting until it has substantially increased in volume, approximately one hour.
Notes
- Enhance the tropical flavor by using fresh, ripe pineapple juice for a more authentic Hawaiian taste.
- Choose high-quality bread flour to ensure a soft, pillowy texture that complements the sweet pineapple essence.
- Adjust rising time based on kitchen temperature, looking for the dough to double in size and feel light and airy.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and add xanthan gum for better texture.
