Bread machine recipes are typically super easy and fun to make—this one is no exception! The trick is to place all of your ingredients into your bread pan in the exact order provided in the recipe card before baking. Once it’s done, you can use them to make several other recipes or eat them on their own. They are perfectly fluffy and just the right amount of sweet. You won’t want to miss out on trying these sweet rolls!

The Best Bread Machine Sweet Hawaiian Rolls Recipe 

The best part about these fluffy rolls is that they are a lot sweeter and fluffier than the ones you’ll find in a grocery store. It doesn’t hurt that this Hawaiian bread recipe is super easy to make. All you need is a bread maker, a few simple ingredients, and an oven!

One of the best ways to use these fluffy Hawaiian sweet rolls is by making sliders with them! However, it’s also the perfect bread for a simple slab of butter. Believe it or not, you can even make cinnamon rolls with them!

How to Make Bread Machine Sweet Hawaiian Rolls 

Place all the ingredients in the bread machine pan, in the order listed in the recipe.

Note: Use store bought pineapple juice, not freshly squeezed pineapple juice.

Tip: If you buy a 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks in juice, it’s the exact amount of juice you need for these rolls, plus you get the bonus of eating the pineapple chunks for a snack – win win!

Set the bread machine to ‘dough cycle’ and press ‘start’.

When done, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into equal sized round balls. As you can see, my dough balls aren’t perfect, but that’s ok because once they rise you aren’t going to see their imperfections.

Place each dough ball side by side in a baking dish. Cover and let the dough rise for an hour.

It’s always a bit magical when you see the before and after of dough rising, isn’t it? Here’s the rolls after 1 hour of rising.

Bake until the rolls are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and cool before serving. Enjoy!

Want to Make Hawaiian Bread?

Simply add the ingredients into the bread pan as instructed and cook on the WHITE BREAD machine setting. It’s as easy as that!

Storing Leftovers 

Store leftover sweet Hawaiian rolls in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap. Keep them in a cool and dry place; this may be at room temperature for some. If you plan to eat them within a few days, you should be fine. But if you want them to last longer, freeze them.

Bread Machine Sweet Hawaiian Rolls FAQs 

Should butter be melted for bread machine?

If the recipe you’re using calls for melted butter, yes, use melted butter. However, some recipes suggest using slices of butter without melting them. Be sure to double-check what each recipe suggests. For this recipe specifically, melt butter before adding it to the bread machine.

Are Hawaiian sweet rolls the same as brioche?

While brioche and sweet rolls are similar because they are both made with enriched dough, Hawaiian rolls are much sweeter because of the pineapple juice used in their recipe. Unfortunately, brioche rolls aren’t as exciting in flavor but still just as delicious!

Why isn’t my sweet bread dough rising?

Possible reasons your sweet bread dough is not rising is that your yeast is expired or the room isn’t warm enough. If your room isn’t warm enough for the dough to rise and your oven has a “bread proof” setting, use this to rise dough!

Another reason could be that you measured out too much sugar. Sugar absorbs moisture in dough therefore the yeast won’t be able to feed on it if the liquid disappears. If you’re not sure what to do with your bread that hasn’t risen, feel free to roll it out and use it to bake a flatbread pizza. No need for it to go to waste!

What is the sweet bread setting on bread machine?

If your bread machine has a ‘sweet bread’ setting, this is meant for baking bread with high amounts of sugar, fat, or protein. This can mean baking with eggs, cheese, raisins, or more.

      You would just have to knead the dough yourself (not sure how long it would take, probably around 15-20 minutes), and also activate the yeast using some of the pineapple juice (heated) before adding it to the rest of the ingredients! The bread machine applies some heat to the dough itself, so it doesn’t require yeast activation beforehand.

      The sugar and the pineapple juice provide plenty of food for the yeast….I’d warm the juice just slightly (until just about the temp you’d warm a baby’s bottle to), and then 8-10 minutes of kneading should be all you’d need. When the dough has risen enough, poke your finger into the dough about up to your first knuckle….about an inch or less…and if the dough doesn’t fill the hole back up, or only just a smidge, the dough is doubled in bulk. (I preheat my oven just a little at 300 degrees, and when I stick my arm in and it feels nice and warm but not hot I turn off the oven, cover the dough, and put it in to rise.) Then…shape the dough into rolls, and bake according to the recipe’s time and temp.
