Ingredients
Before you begin, gather the following ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 packet active dry yeast (7g)
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 4 slices of ham
– 4 slices of pineapple
– Vegetable oil, for greasing
Instructions
1. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and melted butter, stirring until a dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
3. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by arranging the ham and pineapple slices on a plate.
4. Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch log, then place a slice of ham and pineapple on top. Roll the dough around the filling, tucking in the ends to seal.
5. Place the Rolls: Place the shaped rolls on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between them to allow for expansion during baking.
6. Let Them Rise: Cover the baking sheet with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
7. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Bake the Rolls: Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
9. Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Hawaiian rolls with your favorite dip or spread.
By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to prepare delicious Hawaiian rolls that are perfect for any occasion. Happy baking!
