Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. (My bread machine recommends adding the liquids first.) Use the basic or sweet setting.

I made mine with the bread machine set at medium crust. It came out a little darker than I’d like. The next time I’m going to use the light crust setting.

Check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. It should be a smooth, round ball. If it’s too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until it looks OK. If it looks too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks OK. Most of the time though, the above amounts should be just right.

About this Recipe
Craving a taste of the tropics right in your kitchen? This Hawaiian bread recipe brings the sunshine with its uniquely sweet and tender crumb, perfect for any occasion. Forget bland, store-bought loaves – you're about to create something truly special.
What makes this Hawaiian bread stand out is its delightful texture. The final result boasts an extra flaky crust that gives way to a wonderfully cake-like texture inside. The secret lies in a carefully balanced blend of ingredients, including the bright tang of pineapple juice and the richness of milk and olive oil, which work together to create a bread that’s both moist and incredibly flavorful.
Prepare your senses for a truly inviting experience. Each bite delivers a subtle sweetness, enhanced by the tropical notes of pineapple juice, making it distinct from your everyday loaf. The bread’s texture is a dream – light and airy, yet substantial enough to feel incredibly satisfying. Imagine a tender crumb that practically melts in your mouth, encased in that delicate, flaky exterior. It’s a versatile bread that’s surprisingly easy to fall in love with, promising a comforting bake from your oven.
This Hawaiian bread is quite adaptable. You could experiment with different types of milk, such as coconut milk, for a richer, even more tropical flavor profile. For an extra touch of warmth, a dash of vanilla extract could be incorporated into the wet ingredients. If you prefer a slightly less sweet bread, you might gently reduce the sugar, though the balance here is designed for optimal flavor.
Serve this delightful bread warm, perhaps with a pat of butter, alongside your morning coffee, or as a sweet complement to a savory dinner. It's an excellent addition to any brunch spread or a comforting treat on its own.
