And so it begins.

And so it begins.

King's Hawaiian Bread (Copycat)


Units: US | Metric

    6 cups all-purpose flour, plus
    1/2 cup flour
    3 eggs
    2 cups pineapple juice
    3/4 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon ginger
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes yeast
    1/2 cup butter (one stick) or 1/2 cup margarine, melted (one stick)

Directions:

    1    Beat the eggs. Add the pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla, and butter.
    2    Place 3 cups of flour in a large bowl. Stir in the egg mixture until well-combined. Sprinkle in the yeast, one packet at a time, and mix.
    3    Add the remaining 3 cups of flour and mix in . Blending with a spoon will be hard, so you may have to use your hands. Make sure it is thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl with a cloth and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
    4    Remove from the bowl and knead in 1/2 cup flour. Knead about 10 times. Divide into three equal parts.
    5    Place in greased and floured loaf pans or shape into rolls. Cover and place in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
    6    Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or golden brown.
