King's Hawaiian Bread (Copycat)

We absolutely love this bread. My sister won't buy anything but. It's kinda expensive so when I came across this, I had to add it here so we (Mom, Chris, and I) could always have it and everyone else could enjoy it too. The first time I ever had it, it was with the Spinach Veggie dip...OMGOSH it was DEEEVINE! So...next time you don't wanna spend the money, whip it up yourself! It does take a while...but so worth it!

• Ready In: 3 hrs 15 mins
• Yields: 3 loaves

Ingredients

• 6  cups all-purpose flour, plus
• 1⁄2 cup flour
• 3  eggs
• 2  cups  pineapple juice
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger

• 2 (1/4ounce) envelopes  yeast
• 1⁄2 cup butter (one stick) or 1⁄2 cup margarine, melted (one stick)

Directions

1. Beat the eggs. Add the pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla, and butter.
2. Place 3 cups of flour in a large bowl. Stir in the egg mixture until well-combined. Sprinkle in the yeast, one packet at a time, and mix.
3. Add the remaining 3 cups of flour and mix in . Blending with a spoon will be hard, so you may have to use your hands. Make sure it is thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl with a cloth and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
4. Remove from the bowl and knead in 1/2 cup flour. Knead about 10 times. Divide into three equal parts.
5. Place in greased and floured loaf pans or shape into rolls. Cover and place in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or golden brown.
