Homemade Hawaiian Rolls are soft, sweet, and buttery dinner rolls made with pineapple juice for that signature tropical flavor. Perfect for sandwiches, holiday sides, or anytime snacking, they’re better than store-bought and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (116 grams) canned pineapple juice, at room temperature

1/2 cup (116 grams) whole milk, warmed to 100–110°F

5 tablespoons (71 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

6 tablespoons (75 grams) granulated sugar

2 tablespoons (25 grams) light brown sugar

2 eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast

4 cups + 1 tablespoon (516–540 grams) bread flour

1/4 cup (32 grams) all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt

1 egg (for egg wash)

2 tablespoons water (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon (14 grams) salted butter, melted (for finishing)

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine pineapple juice, milk, butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and yeast. Add all-purpose flour and 2 cups of bread flour. Mix to a shaggy dough, then add salt.
  2. Using the dough hook, knead on medium-low, adding more bread flour as needed, until smooth and soft (4–5 minutes).
  3. Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  4. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Deflate dough and divide into 15 equal pieces. Shape into balls and place in the pan.
  5. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons of water and brush over rolls. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter.
  7. Let cool slightly and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Substitute up to 1 cup of bread flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber.

Add shredded cheese or garlic to the top before baking for a flavor boost.

Can be frozen and reheated as needed.
