Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

Soft, sweet, very delicious, and one my family's favorite breads would be the best description for these super yummy rolls. :)

 
While on the search for a recipe I was disappointed to find out that many called for pineapple juice...
 

 
...until I saw this.
 

 
  Yum!!
 

 

Recipe: 

Makes 9 large rolls
 
1c. warm water
1 Tbsp. yeast
2 Tbsp. oil
1/8 tsp. coconut extract
1/4 tsp. lemon juice
3-4c. flour
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4c. sugar

 
1. Place warm water in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer. Stir yeast into the water and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Attach the dough hook to mixer and add the oil, salt, coconut extract, and lemon juice. Mix at low speed.
3. Add the flour, one cup at a time until the dough is no longer sticky and knead for 1-2 minutes.
4. Put the dough in a greased bowl and place in a warm spot to rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
5. When risen completely, lightly grease a pie pan and shape the dough into nine balls. Set the pan in a warm place to rise until doubled in size and then bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.


*To get a nice, soft buttery top, gently rub some butter on the top immediately after removing them from the oven.
