Riqrats Ultimate Hawaiian Sweet Bread Recipes

KING'S HAWAIIAN SWEET BREAD - REVISED

Steps:

• To make the sugar water, in a small bowl use 1 cup of boiling water and dissolve 3/4 cup of sugar. You can add more if you like as long as it fully dissolves.
• Once the sugar water temperature drops into the 100-115 degree range, add the yeast and ginger.
• In another small bowl, add the eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla and mix until all well incorporated.
• Allow the melted butter to cool down (but not go solid). Take a spoonful of the egg/sugar mixture and mix with the melted butter to 'temper' it, then pour the melted butter into the egg/sugar mixture and mix well. You do not want to just pour hot butter into the egg mixture as it could 'cook' the egg and form curds.
• In the mixer, put in the bread flour, potato flour, dough conditioner and powdered milk and briefly mix.
• Once the yeast mixture has foamed, start the mixer on low and pour in the yeast mixture and then the egg mixture.
• Once the ingredients are mixed thoroughly, stop mixing and let it rest about 10 minutes.
• Start the kneading process. The dough should feel a little 'tacky' to the touch but should not stick to your hand and fingers when you pull it away. Knead for at least 10 minutes and then test it using the 'window pane' test.
• Once the dough is well kneaded, form a ball by pulling the sides of the dough under itself to form a tight skin on top.
• Lightly coat a bowl with oil (I use a cooking spray) and place your dough ball in it, rolling the ball in the bowl to coat it. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for about 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
• When dough has doubled, place on a floured surface and hand knead for about 30 seconds, then form it into a ball again by tucking the sides under.
• Lightly spray a pie tin with oil and place the dough ball in it. Cover with a large bowl or plastic wrap and let it rise again for 1 hour in a warm place, or until it has risen to cover the bottom of the tin with a nice dome.
• 30 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 350 deg. and set an oven rack for baking in the middle/center.
• Bake in the pie tin on the middle rack for about 40 minutes. You should see a nice golden brown crust and the interior temperature should be about 200 deg. using a fast acting digital thermometer. If the color is achieved but more time is needed, cover the top with aluminum foil to prevent further browning and to allow the inside to continue baking.
• When done, remove to a cooling rack. You can leave it in the pie tin or remove it and place bread directly on rack. Cool for 30 minutes before tearing and serving.
• Enjoy!

HAWAIIAN SWEET BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand until bubbles form on surface, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Add pineapple juice and whole milk and continue to heat gently until mixture reaches 110° to 115°. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, potato flakes, sugar, salt and ginger. Add yeast and butter mixtures to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough; dough will be sticky. , Turn dough onto a floured surface; with floured hands, knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes, adding more flour to surface and hands as needed. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/4 hours., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Shape each into a ball. Place in 3 greased 9-in. round baking pans lined with parchment. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake until golden brown and internal temperature of loaves reaches 200°, 30-35 minutes, covering loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if needed to prevent tops from over-browning. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

RIQRAT'S ULTIMATE HAWAIIAN SWEET BREAD

Steps:

• Mix flour and water in a saucepan until flour is completely dissolved. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 149 degrees F (65 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove water roux from heat.
• Measure 5 3/4 ounces of the water roux into a bowl and let cool to below 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
• Combine pineapple juice, butter, and honey in a saucepan. Heat, stirring frequently, until butter is mostly melted and mixture reaches 120 to 130 degrees F (49 to 54 degrees C), 3 to 5 minutes.
• Combine 9 ounces bread flour, milk powder, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix well. Pour in water roux and pineapple juice mixture while beating on low speed. Mix in egg and egg yolk. Increase speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes.
• Switch to the dough hook attachment. Mix dough on low speed while adding remaining bread flour, a little at a time, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add a bit more flour if dough isn't pulling away from the sides of the bowl. Knead for 5 minutes.
• Remove dough from the mixer and shape into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free area until nearly doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Gently press any air bubbles out of the dough. Form into a round loaf and place seam-side down in a greased pie pan. Cover and let rest until dough rises to the edges of the pan, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Uncover dough and bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 195 to 205 degrees F (90 to 96 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Tent loaf with aluminum foil if crust is browning too quickly. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

HAWAIIAN BREAD II

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, beat together the yeast mixture, eggs, pineapple juice, 1/2 cup water, sugar, ginger, vanilla, and melted butter. Gradually stir in flour until a stiff batter is formed. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a well floured surface. Divide the dough into three equal pieces and form into round loaves. Place the loaves into three lightly greased round cake pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
