Homemade Hawaiian Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 3 eggs eggs
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 6 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until a creamy foam develops.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the yeast mixture, pineapple juice, sugar, eggs, melted butter, 1/2 cup water, vanilla extract, and ginger. Gradually stir in half of the flour until well combined. Continue adding the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to create a stiff dough.
3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour, or until doubled in size. While the dough rises, lightly grease three round cake pans and set them aside.
4. Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a well-floured surface. Divide the dough into three equal portions and shape them into round loaves. Place each loaf in a prepared cake pan. Cover the pans with a towel and allow the dough to rise again in a warm place for about 40 minutes, or until doubled. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
