Soft Sourdough Hawaiian Rolls
Soft, pillowy Hawaiian rolls made with sourdough! The pineapple juice in the dough gives these just the right amount of sweetness.This is a VERY wet dough (you'll need a stand mixer for it!) and will look more like batter as you're mixing it - don't worry. It will get less sticky and easier to work with as the gluten develops during its rise.Makes 15 rolls.

Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 (6-ounce) can pineapple juice (190 grams), at room temperature *see note*
- 50 grams warm water
- 200 grams active sourdough starter
- 1 egg
- 50 grams sugar
- 500 grams all purpose flour
- 13 grams salt
For the Egg Wash
- 1 egg whisked together with 1 tablespoon water
Directions
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, pineapple juice, water, starter, egg, and sugar and mix until combined. Add the flour and salt and mix until no dry flour remains, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Switch to the dough hook and mix on LOW speed for 8-10 minutes, until the dough begins to look smooth. It will look more like batter than dough at this point - that's okay! Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 12 to 14 hours. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Divide into 15 pieces and shape into rolls. Arrange in a 3 by 5 grid in the prepared baking dish. Cover and allow to rise at room temperature until significantly puffed up, about 1 ½ - 3 hours.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash, and bake on the middle rack for 25 - 30 minutes, until browned to your liking and baked through. Serve warm or at room temperature.Fully cooled leftovers will keep in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel for optimal softness.
Notes
If you're using fresh pineapple juice, you'll need to heat it to 200 degrees to kill off the enzymes - otherwise, the enzymes will destroy your gluten!
