Homemade Pineapple Sweet Rolls
Ingredients:
– 1 cup chopped pineapple
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 package active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup warm water
– 1/2 cup milk, room temperature
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1-2 tablespoons milk
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the chopped pineapple with 1 tablespoon of melted butter until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
2. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk, granulated sugar, egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
4. On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then spread the pineapple filling on top.
7. Starting from the long end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
8. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm sweet rolls.
