Hawaiian Honey Bread
An easy way to make the bread that is so popular in supermarkets. It’s an excellent bread to serve for breakfast, and makes delicious French toast.
Yield 1 large round loaf
Ingredients
- 4 1/4 cups bread flour, divided
- 2 (0.25oz each) packages (14g) or 4 1/2 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
- 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup shortening or butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 drop yellow food coloring (if desired)
- Egg wash: whisk together 1 large egg + 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, non-fat dry milk and salt; whisk well to blend.
- In saucepan or microwave-safe dish, heat pineapple juice, water, shortening (or butter) and honey until warm (120-130°F; shortening/butter does not need to melt). Add to flour mixture.
- Add eggs and food coloring to flour mixture.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. (Or mix with wooden spoon or dough whisk for 3 minutes.)
- Using a wooden spoon or dough whisk, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic. (Or knead in stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.)
- Form dough into ball and place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 15-30 minutes.
- Punch down dough. On lightly floured surface, shape into a round loaf. Place in greased 9 or 10-inch round pie pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 15-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375ºF
- Brush egg wash over top of dough.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.

Incredible recipe! Slightly sweet, soft and tasty bread. I actually made rolls out of this dough and they were huge, fluffy and delicious! Used for cheeseburger sliders and then just for snacking.
