Hawaiian Sweet Bread image

The mother of a high school friend would make 13 loaves of this lightly sweet Hawaiian bread recipe at a time! I make this bread year-round, but my family insists it's a "must" for the holidays. -Ruthie Banks, Prescott, Arizona

Provided by Taste of Home

Time 1h

Yield 3 loaves (12 wedges each).

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup whole milk
7-1/2 to 8 cups all-purpose flour, divided
3/4 cup mashed potato flakes
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes. Look for firm, smooth potatoes with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller sweet potatoes tend to be more tender and flavorful than larger ones.
  • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Poke several holes in the potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help the steam to escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400-425°F) for about an hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before handling them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
