Sweet Hawaiian Yeast Bread (bread Machine)

I made this recipe as written but substituted fresh milk instead of dried. It worked perfectly but I will note that I used an expensive bread flour which was 'ideal' for sweet breads. It really worked because my husband and my picky MIL went nuts over this bread. A winner!

I was looking for a recipe to make King's Hawaiian Bread. While this isn't an exact duplicate, I found the bread very good. It was sweet and did have the pineapple flavor I was wanting. I used the dough cycle & then formed into 12 rolls placing in a 11x13 pan. After rising I baked them in the oven at 350 degrees. The rolls were light & fluffy with a tender texture. A definite keeper! Thank you for sharing the recipe.

I was too lazy to go to the store for pineapple juice so I juiced oranges and grated about 1 tablespoon of orange zest into the flour. Baked it for 40 minutes at 350*. My house smells so good! Gonna make orange honey butter to go on it. I did have to cover the top with a sheet of foil because it browned so fast, but that's the nature of sweet bread! Thanks for posting this yummy recipe! SA ;) PS I also subbed 2 T of cream for the powdered milk because I was still too lazy to go to the store!

It does not taste like King's Hawaiian Bread at ALL. I don't know why people think this is even close. Having said that, it's still delish. It's not as sweet as I imagined, but it has enough to give that golden glow and make you THINK it's a lot sweeter than it really is, which is just fine by me. Who needs the extra calories? What it IS really great for are dinner rolls. I think most people would enjoy this recipe over those fattening crescent rolls. These are great right out of the oven, though I did have to slap some butter on it (just a smidgen). Thanks for sharing (esp. those who gave directions about how to make them into rolls instead of a loaf in the bread maker).

I'm now making this for the second time in a week, Family loves it!! This time I will mix in the ABM then bake in the oven as rolls. I'm not a baker but i'm learning quick and this is a great learning recipe!

Although I did transfer this to the oven to bake, this is the best thing that has come out of my bread machine so far! The first time I tried to make this, I used a pineapple puree/water mixture since I didn't have the juice. I would not recommend doing that. However, as written, this recipe is amazing. I halved the recipe (halving an egg is interesting!), and I let it go on the dough cycle in my bread machine. Then, I shaped them into 6 rolls, placed them in a 9x9 casserole dish sprayed with Pam, let them rise for an hour, and baked them in the oven at 375 F for 10 minutes. I would advise others to watch them as this dough browns pretty fast, but these taste great and have a wonderful texture. Thanks for posting this recipe!

Great bread! We ate this warm, right when it came out, with butter. When we ate it we couldnt tell a difference than any other fresh white breads that I make in the bread maker. It was VERY soft on the inside and the outside was nice and chewy how we like it. After it sat and cooled, the next day I had a slice and I could then definitely tell the sweetness in it! Very good! Maybe it being eaten warm was hiding the sweetness. But it was delicious both ways! I will make again, great recipe! Thanks!

This recipe is FANTASTIC! It was sweet and delicious just like the Kings bread at the store.
My husband and I LOVED it! <3

Can't figure out what went wrong, but this bread was a dismal failure for me today. Followed the recipe to a T other than swapping pasteurized milk in place of dry milk. It didn't rise much and the taste and texture are just plain strange (almost bitter). I'm so sad as I was really looking forward to this bread.

Good recipe. Mixed on dough cycle in ABM, then baked in the oven. Used AP flour and mango honey. Really nice looking, tall loaf. Can't comment on the flavour as I gave it away, but I will make another one for myself later on and update my review.

This is awesome. I made it using molasses instead of honey but everything else was the same. Dh and I loved this bread. It tastes very similar to the Kings that I have bought at walmart.

My children and I really liked this recipe. I did have to change it a bit with what I had on hand. I substituted water for the pineapple juice, (really wish i would have had some on hand) and did not have powdered milk so used Vit D regular old milk. The texture is great and so was the flavor. When I make it next time with the pineapple juice i'm sure it will be sweeter. This is without a doubt going in my frequent recipes folder. Thanks so much!

This was pretty good, but not quite as sweet as I was expecting. It's not quite like the storebought Hawaiian bread, but it's pretty darn good nonetheless. I did not have dry milk on hand, and leaving it out did not cause any issues.

Very good not very sweet. I used 2 tbs honey and 1 tbs sugar I ran out of honey. I poured pineapple juice from the can but forgot to shake or stir it and later when I poured the leftover juice into a pitcher I saw it wasn't mixed up so it may tasted better had I stirred the juice first. I plan to make again and I may try 4 tbs of honey? Thanks for a great bread Machine recipe my machine was getting dust on it I need to use it more!

This was very good bread! I love the fact that it used dry milk. I don't think it's exactly like the Hawaiian bread from the stores, but it's a close one. I would actually prefer it to be a little bit sweeter, but that won't stop me from making this over & over again!

I don't have a bread machine but was bold enough to hand over the recipe and a can of pineapple juice.. to a friend that does.. Wonderfully light with an undefinable twinge of sweet..

Wow! Great! I didn't have pineapple juice so I used oj and that was fine. I will get some pineapple juice now to have on hand for this. I used 1 cup WW flour and made into 12 rolls in a 9 x 13. Let rise again in warm place and then baked 350 for about 15 minutes. I thought they were just the right amount of sweet (I DID use 3 T. honey) and my family loved them!
