Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Juice drained from a can of pineapple PLUS water to make 1 1/2 cups total
- 2 Tbsp Yeast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3 1/2 cups Flour
- 1/4 tsp Sugar
- 1/3 cup Oil
- 1 Egg
Instructions
- Open a can of pineapple and save the juice in a measuring cup.
- Then take three-to-four slices of pineapple and process in a food processor with the blade attachment until pureed. Add the pineapple juice and turn the processor on until completely smooth.
- Once done, transfer the juice to a microwave safe measuring cup and measure out 1 1/4 cup, then, microwave it for 30-45 seconds.
- Pour the warm juice from the measuring cup into the bowl of a KitchenAid mixer.
- Measure 2 Tablespoons yeast and add it to the warm juice in the bowl.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon sugar to the yeast and juice, mix well and let it rest until frothy.
- This should take at least 5 minutes but be sure to let it rest to bloom the yeast.
- When the juice and yeast mixture is frothy, after around 5 minutes, you can start to make the dough.
- In the bowl of a KitchenAid mixer, add 1/3 cup oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 egg and 3 1/2 cup flour.
- Insert the dough hook onto the mixer and mix until completely combined.
- Add extra flour if necessary so the dough is not sticky.
- Turn out the dough onto a clean and slightly floured surface, then separate the dough into fifteen equal parts and shape them immediately into round balls.
- Place each shaped dough ball into a 9 X 13-inch baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and then let them rest for 20 minutes, or longer to make sure the rolls have risen to double.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and after the rolls have rested, remove the plastic wrap and then bake the rolls for 25 minutes.
- Finally, remove the rolls from the oven and spread butter on the tops of the rolls if desired, serve and enjoy!
