- 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
- Place pineapple juice, milk, egg, butter, coconut extract, bread flour, potato flakes, sugar, salt, ginger, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed, or according to manufacturer’s instructions. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough after cycle has ended, about 1 hour.
- Form dough into rolls, place on a baking sheet, and let rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes.

- We discovered that we like these rolls to be baked apart rather than squished in a pan like in my photo.

Reviews
This was super easy to make and my rolls came out better than expected. I followed the recipe except substituting vanilla extract for the coconut extract and using traditional baking method instead of a bread machine. I used my kitchen aid mixer with the hook attachment to form the dough. I then kneaded the dough on a floured surface, forming it into a ball. I lightly oiled a bowl and placed the dough in the bowl, rolling it around inside the bowl to get coated with oil. The bowl was placed inside my oven and covered with a damp cloth for proofing for 1 hour. I then continued with the recipe from Step 2.
These rolls were beautifully fluffy sweet did not disappoint in any way. My grandkids had one each while they were still warm and couldn’t keep them away from my kitchen once I made them. Will definitely make them again.
