KING'S HAWAIIAN BREAD (COPYCAT)
We absolutely love this bread. My sister won't buy anything but. It's kinda expensive so when I came across this, I had to add it here so we (Mom, Chris, and I) could always have it and everyone else could enjoy it too. The first time I ever had it, it was with the Spinach Veggie dip...OMGOSH it was DEEEVINE! So...next time you don't wanna spend the money, whip it up yourself! It does take a while...but so worth it!

KING'S HAWAIIAN SWEET BREAD - REVISED
I'm a big fan of King's Hawaiian Sweet bread. What I'm not a fan of is the high price to buy it when making it at home is not only convenient and fresh, but much less cost. I scoured the web for this sweet bread and found several variations, all of which I tested but not satisfied of being like King's. Many of the recipes I have found on the web incorporate "pineapple juice". While you certainly can replace some or all of the water with juice, I did not notice this ingredient on the King's bread package. The main ingredients (those listed first on the package) are Flour, Water, Sugar, Liquid Sugar (sugar water), butter and eggs. Then comes (in smaller percentages) the yeast, potato flour, whey, nonfat milk, salt and datem. After that are listed elements that I quickly determined to be a dough conditioner. I made my own by searching online. You can use any dough conditioner you prefer.

Steps:
- To make the sugar water, in a small bowl use 1 cup of boiling water and dissolve 3/4 cup of sugar. You can add more if you like as long as it fully dissolves.
- Once the sugar water temperature drops into the 100-115 degree range, add the yeast and ginger.
- In another small bowl, add the eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla and mix until all well incorporated.
- Allow the melted butter to cool down (but not go solid). Take a spoonful of the egg/sugar mixture and mix with the melted butter to 'temper' it, then pour the melted butter into the egg/sugar mixture and mix well. You do not want to just pour hot butter into the egg mixture as it could 'cook' the egg and form curds.
- In the mixer, put in the bread flour, potato flour, dough conditioner and powdered milk and briefly mix.
- Once the yeast mixture has foamed, start the mixer on low and pour in the yeast mixture and then the egg mixture.
- Once the ingredients are mixed thoroughly, stop mixing and let it rest about 10 minutes.
- Start the kneading process. The dough should feel a little 'tacky' to the touch but should not stick to your hand and fingers when you pull it away. Knead for at least 10 minutes and then test it using the 'window pane' test.
- Once the dough is well kneaded, form a ball by pulling the sides of the dough under itself to form a tight skin on top.
- Lightly coat a bowl with oil (I use a cooking spray) and place your dough ball in it, rolling the ball in the bowl to coat it. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for about 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- When dough has doubled, place on a floured surface and hand knead for about 30 seconds, then form it into a ball again by tucking the sides under.
- Lightly spray a pie tin with oil and place the dough ball in it. Cover with a large bowl or plastic wrap and let it rise again for 1 hour in a warm place, or until it has risen to cover the bottom of the tin with a nice dome.
- 30 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 350 deg. and set an oven rack for baking in the middle/center.
- Bake in the pie tin on the middle rack for about 40 minutes. You should see a nice golden brown crust and the interior temperature should be about 200 deg. using a fast acting digital thermometer. If the color is achieved but more time is needed, cover the top with aluminum foil to prevent further browning and to allow the inside to continue baking.
- When done, remove to a cooling rack. You can leave it in the pie tin or remove it and place bread directly on rack. Cool for 30 minutes before tearing and serving.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Using fresh ingredients is key to achieving the best flavor in your King's Hawaiian bread copycat recipe.
- Make sure your yeast is active and fresh. If you're not sure, test it by dissolving it in a small amount of warm water with a pinch of sugar. If it doesn't foam up after a few minutes, it's not active and you should discard it.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the dough and give it a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour. This will give the yeast time to work and produce gas, which will make the bread light and airy.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent it from tearing.
Conclusion:
With a little time and effort, you can easily make a delicious King's Hawaiian bread copycat recipe at home. This bread is perfect for sandwiches, sliders, or just eating on its own. It's also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. So next time you're in the mood for some Hawaiian bread, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
