Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
"I made this recipe for a Hawaiian Luau party," says Kat P. "The bread came out of the oven just as the first guest arrived. Not only did the house smell great, but the first loaf was gone in no time flat. Very delicious."
"The dough was wonderful to work with," raves vivian filosa. "I got 32 rolls and an 8x4-inch pan of bread. They raised beautifully. I'll be making these again next week to take ham/cheese sandwiches to a party. They will all be so impressed."
"Awesome," according to fausterlady. "I make this at least once a week and freeze any loaves we don't use and they get used pretty quick!"

Ingredients
-
½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
-
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
-
1 cup pineapple juice
-
¾ cup white sugar
-
3 eggs
-
½ cup butter, melted
-
½ cup water
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon ground ginger
-
6 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
-
Pour warm water into a bowl; add yeast and let stand until it begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
-
Beat yeast mixture, pineapple juice, sugar, eggs, melted butter, 1/2 cup water, vanilla, and ginger together in a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 of the flour until no dry spots remain. Stir in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a stiff dough.
-
Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, lightly grease three round cake pans; set aside.
-
Deflate dough and turn it out onto a well floured surface. Divide dough into three equal pieces and form into round loaves. Place the loaves in the prepared cake pans; cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Bake loaves in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, and the bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 25 to 30 minutes.
