Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Hawaiian
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/4 cups bread flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of warm water, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 3 1/4 cups of bread flour, and 2 1/4 teaspoons of bread machine yeast.
- In a measuring cup, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir gently until the sugar is dissolved. This will activate the yeast.
- Add the milk and vegetable oil to the warm water mixture. Stir to combine.
- In the bread machine's baking pan, add the salt first. This is important as it helps to control the yeast's activity.
- Next, carefully add the bread flour on top of the salt, ensuring it covers the salt completely. This will prevent the salt from directly contacting the yeast too early.
- Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the bread machine yeast. This will allow the yeast to activate properly once the liquids are added.
- Pour the water, sugar, milk, and oil mixture over the flour and yeast in the bread machine pan. Make sure the liquids are evenly distributed across the flour.
- Insert the baking pan into the bread machine and close the lid. Select the 'Dough' setting on your bread machine. This setting typically takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, but you will only need the dough for the next steps.
- Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently for a few minutes to release any air bubbles.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball by tucking the edges underneath to create a round top.
- Place the shaped rolls onto a greased baking sheet or a baking dish lined with parchment paper, spacing them a few inches apart to allow for rising.
- Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the rolls are rising.
- Once the rolls have risen, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Sweet Hawaiian Style Rolls warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for serving with butter, as a side for meals, or for making sandwiches!
Tips
- Use Warm Water: Ensure your water is warm but not hot; around 110°F (43°C) is ideal. This temperature helps activate the yeast without killing it.
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: Baking is a science! Use a kitchen scale for the flour if possible, as precision can greatly affect the texture of your rolls.
- Don’t Skip the Rising Time: Allowing the rolls to rise properly is crucial for achieving that light and airy texture. Find a warm spot in your kitchen to help them along.
- Check for Doneness: The rolls are done when they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. If they need more time, check them every few minutes.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add a touch of vanilla extract or pineapple juice to the dough for an extra Hawaiian twist!
- Store Properly: Keep any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore their soft texture.
