Hawaiian Sweet Bread

Ingredients:
– 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
– 1/2 cup coconut milk
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 1 tsp salt

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, coconut milk, sugar, and melted butter. Stir well to mix all the wet ingredients together.
2. Add the eggs to the mixture and whisk until smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a sticky dough forms.
5. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release excess air.
8. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover it again with a kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
10. Bake the Hawaiian Sweet Bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. You can test doneness by tapping the bottom of the loaf for a hollow sound.
11. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
