Freshly Milled Flour Hawaiian Rolls
These freshly milled flour Hawaiian rolls are perfectly fluffy and sweet! We love having them plain with butter, serving them with BBQ, or using them for homemade sliders.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Activate the yeastPour the warm pineapple juice and milk into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the yeast along with 2 tbsp of sugar.Add 1 cup of the flour and whisk into a thick slurry. Let sit 5–⏱️ 10 minutes until bubbly and expanded.
2
Build the doughAdd the remaining sugar, eggs, and salt. Mix well.Add 4 more cups of freshly milled flour. Begin mixing until a shaggy dough forms.Knead for about 4–⏱️ 5 minutes before adding the butter.
large eggs (room temperature)2salt1 teaspoon½ cup butter (melted and cooled (1 stick))melted butter2 tbsp
3
Add the butterSlowly mix in the melted butter a little at a time. After everything is mixed, wet your hands and begin kneading the dough in the bowl. Knead for about ⏱️ 10 minutes. The dough should become smoother and start pulling away from the sides of the bowl, though it may still stick slightly when you lift it.The dough will feel sticky. That’s normal and helps keep the rolls soft. Try not to add extra flour if possible. If it becomes too difficult to handle, you can add a small amount of flour a little at a time, but keep in mind that adding too much flour will make the rolls more dense.*See notes below for doing the stretch and fold method.

4
First riseCover the dough with a tea towel.Let rise until doubled in size. This can take anywhere from 1 ½ to ⏱️ 3 hours, depending on your home's temperature. (See notes on rising tips.)
5
ShapePunch down the dough and divide it into around 24 small rolls.Shape into tight balls and place into greased baking pans. Keep in mind they are going to about double in size, so shape them accordingly.
6
Second riseCover and let the rolls rise again until puffy, about 1 ½ times their size (about ⏱️ 40 minutes). They should look airy and pillowy.
7
BakePreheat oven to 350°F.Bake 18–⏱️ 22 minutes, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 190–195°F.
8
Cool and serveBrush the warm rolls with melted butter. Let cool at least 10–⏱️ 15 minutes before serving.
