Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter, eggs, pineapple juice, vanilla extract, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as dinner rolls or use them for sliders!
