Ingredients

• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
• 0.25 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0 Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons Melted light butter

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it stand for about 5 minutes or until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, Greek yogurt, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add salt and 3 cups of flour to the wet ingredients, mixing continuously. Reserve the additional 0.5 cup of flour for kneading.

Step 5

Once the dough starts to come together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, gradually adding the remaining 0.5 cup of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside, turning it to coat with the spray. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free environment for 1-2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

Step 8

Arrange the dough balls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover them again and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until they have puffed up.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Once baked, brush the tops of the rolls with melted light butter for a glossy finish.

Step 12

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these low-fat Hawaiian sweet rolls as a delightful side or treat.
