What are Kings Hawaiian Rolls?

Kings Hawaiian Rolls are a sweet bread that is loaded with flavor. They have a soft, fluffy texture and the perfect roll to serve with your holiday turkey.

They are easy to make with simple ingredients and always a family favorite.

Ingredients:

• Warm Water
• Granulated Sugar
• Yeast
• Vegetable Oil
• Salt
• All purpose Flour

For the full list of ingredients and recipes, scroll to the bottom for the recipe card.

Variations:

• Seasoning – Feel free to add in fresh herbs or seasoning to the dough mixture. Stir in minced garlic, or rosemary, thyme and parsely are great options. We have even added in brown sugar and vanilla extract for added flavor.
• Shredded Coconut – Shredded coconut is always a great addition to the Hawaiian Bread Rolls.
• Melted Butter – After shaping the doughs brush the tops with melted butter and cinnamon and sugar. This adds the perfect amount of sweetness to these favorite roll recipe. You can even mix melted butter with poppy seed.

Step by Step Instructions:

• Step 1 – Mix together water, sugar and yeast. Let stand about 10 minutes, or until yeast begins to activate (small bubbles will form).
• Step 2 – In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, slowly add in oil, salt and flour. Mix until well incorporate and then continue to knead for about 2-3 minutes.

• Step 3 – Oil sides of bowl. Remove dough from mixing bowl and place in glass bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.

• Step 4 – Spray an 8″ x 8″ glass baking pan with cooking spray. Divide the risen knead dough into 9 similarly sized balls.

• Step 5 – Arrange in the prepared dish, leaving some space around each ball to allow for rising. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Step 6 – Once risen again, bake rolls in 350 degrees oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and immediately butter the top of each roll. Enjoy these warm, fluffy melt rolls.

Recipe Tips:

• Fresh Ingredients – Make sure when making homemade bread recipe that your yeast has not expired.
• Prepare Baking Dish – Prepare the baking dish by spraying with cooking spray. This helps to easily remove the homemade Hawaiian Rolls easily.
• Combining Ingredients – We recommend using the dough hook to combine the ingredients. It is much easier using the stand mixer than doing it by hand.
