Hawaiian Bread

So, I made THE most amazing Hawaiian bread last night!! Sooo delicious and perfectly sweet!

Sweet Hawaiian Bread

4 - 4.5 cups of flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 envelopes (.25 oz each) dry active yeast

1/2 cup warm water (120 F - 130 F)

1/2 cup warm milk (120 F - 130 F)

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened

2 tablespoons honey

3 large eggs, divided

Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl; mix well. Add water, milk, butter and honey. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on high speed 2 minutes. Add 2 eggs; mix until blended. Stir in enough remaining flour until a soft dough forms.

Knead doungh on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes.Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until almost double in size, about 1 hour.

Grease baking sheet. Punch down dough. Shape dough into a ball. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cover; let rise until almost double in size, 30-40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Beat remaining egg in a small bowl until smooth. Uncover loaf; brush with beaten egg. Bake bread until golden and sounds hollow when lightly tapped, 25-35 minutes. Remove loaf from baking sheet; place on wire rack to cool.

***For Hawaiian rolls, shape dough into 24 balls and place in a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Let rise until almost double in size. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 350 F until golden, about 20 minutes.***

Yummy, yummy!
