I have seen recipes for Hawaiian Sweet Bread
before, and for sale in the grocery, but hadn’t tried it until this week. This recipe is from the "The Taste of
Home Baking Book ", and makes enough for gifts. I made one loaf with an egg wash and a little
coarse sugar on top – my son and grandson took it home with them - and the
others plain. Slightly sweet, it’s good
plain or toasted, and freezes well.
Hawaiian Sweet Bread
7 1/2
Cups Flour, All-purpose
3/4
Cup Potato Flakes
2/3
Cup Sugar
4
Teaspoons Instant Yeast -- 2
packages
1
Teaspoon Salt
1/2
Teaspoon Ground Ginger
1
Cup Milk
1/2
Cup Water
1/2
Cup Butter -- softened
1
Cup Pineapple Juice
3
Large Eggs
2
Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
In a large
mixer bowl, combine 3 cups flour, potato flakes, sugar, yeast, salt and
ginger. In a saucepan, heat the milk,
water, butter and pineapple juice to 120°-130°.
Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Beat in eggs until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft
dough. Change to dough hook and knead 6
minutes or knead by hand 5-8 minutes.
Cover, let
rest in warm place about 10 minutes.
Punch dough
down. Turn onto a lightly floured
surface, divide into thirds, about 1 1/2 pounds each. Shape each into a ball. Place in three greased 9" round baking
pans. Press down into a 6-7"
circle. Cover, let rise until doubled,
20-25 minutes.
Bake at 375°
for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
