Hawaiian Bread

King’s Hawaiian Bread (Copycat)

We absolutely love this bread. My sister won’t buy anything but. It’s kinda expensive so when I came across this, I had to add it here so we could always have it and everyone else could enjoy it too. The first time I ever had it, it was with the Spinach Veggie dip…OMGOSH it was DEEEVINE! So…next time you don’t wanna spend the money, whip it up yourself! It does take a while…but so worth it!

Note: For a personal touch, I painted the loaves with beaten egg yolk with a tablespoon of water, and sprinkle with sesame seeds

Ingredients

• 6 cups all-purpose flour, plus
• 1/2 cup flour
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups pineapple juice
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 (1/4 ounce) envelope yeast
• 1/2 cup butter (one stick) or 1/2 cup margarine, melted ( one stick)

Directions

1. Beat the eggs.
2. Add the pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla, and butter.
3. Place 3 cups of flour in a large bowl. Stir in the egg mixture until well-combined. Sprinkle in the yeast, one packet at a time, and mix.
4. Add the remaining 3 cups of flour and mix in . Blending with a spoon will be hard, so you may have to use your hands. Make sure it is thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl with a cloth and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
5. Remove from the bowl and knead in 1/2 cup flour. Knead about 10 times. Divide into three equal parts.
6. Place in greased and floured loaf pans or shape into rolls. Cover and place in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or golden brown.
