Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them accurately. This ensures the bread machine cycle goes smoothly. Itβs important to follow the correct order when adding ingredients to the bread machine. -
Add Ingredients to the Bread Machine:
Begin by placing the ingredients into the bread machineβs baking pan. The order in which you add the ingredients is crucial for the best results, so always check the manual of your bread machine for the preferred sequence. Typically, you want to add liquids first, followed by dry ingredients, and lastly, the yeast on top. For this recipe, start with the pineapple juice, then add the egg, honey, salt, bread flour, and dry milk. Finally, sprinkle the fast-rising yeast and quick-rising yeast on top. -
Set the Bread Machine:
Choose the appropriate settings on your bread machine. Select the “white” or “sweet” cycle, as these are optimized for a bread like this, which has a slightly sweeter flavor thanks to the pineapple juice. Set the crust preference to “light” for a soft, golden-brown finish. -
Start the Bread Machine:
Once everything is set, simply press “start” and allow the bread machine to take over. The machine will mix, knead, and bake the dough, resulting in a fragrant and fluffy loaf in about 3 hours. -
Cool and Serve:
After the bread cycle finishes, carefully remove the loaf from the bread machine and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. This cooling time allows the bread to firm up slightly and makes slicing easier. Serve warm, or slice it once itβs fully cooled for sandwiches, toast, or as a side for meals.
Additional Tips:
-
Pineapple Juice: The key ingredient that sets this recipe apart is the pineapple juice. It imparts a subtle sweetness and a hint of tropical flavor. If you don’t have pineapple juice, you can substitute it with orange juice for a different but equally delicious result.
-
Storage: This bread stays fresh for a few days at room temperature when stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, slice and freeze individual slices for easy use later on.
-
Kids-Friendly: The slightly sweet flavor of this bread makes it a hit with kids. You can also try using it to make delicious sandwiches or serve it alongside soups and stews for a wholesome meal.
Conclusion:
Making Sweet Hawaiian Yeast Bread in your bread machine is an easy and satisfying way to enjoy homemade bread without much effort. With pineapple juice as a main ingredient, this loaf offers a unique flavor twist thatβs sure to impress your family and friends. Ideal for busy households or those new to baking, this recipe delivers a soft, sweet, and flavorful bread with minimal prep time and effort. Enjoy it fresh, as toast, or as part of a larger meal.
