Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
• 1 large Egg
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Potato flour (or instant potato flakes)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine whole milk and unsalted butter. Heat until the butter melts completely. Remove from heat and let it cool to lukewarm.

Step 2

Stir in honey and pineapple juice into the warm milk mixture.

Step 3

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes foamy.

Step 4

In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the egg, then add the foamy yeast mixture to it.

Step 5

Add the all-purpose flour, potato flour, and brown sugar to the wet ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 8

Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.

Step 9

Place the dough balls onto a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, leaving a little space between them for expansion.

Step 10

Cover the pan with a cloth and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 13

Remove from oven and brush the tops with a little melted butter if desired. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
