--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
3 eggs
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, melted
6 cups all-purpose flour


Directions
1 In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.
Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2 In a large bowl, beat together the yeast mixture, eggs,
pineapple juice, 1/2 cup water, sugar, ginger, vanilla, and
melted butter. Gradually stir in flour until a stiff batter
is formed. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm
place for 1 hour.
3 Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a well floured
surface. Divide the dough into three equal pieces and form into
round loaves. Place the loaves into three lightly greased
round cake pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let
rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile,
preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4 Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until
bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped.


**I made mine in 3 regular loaf pans and it was fine.

Thank you! I was hoping this would turn out well after reading about it in the homesteading forum and that you would post the recipe. I have been wanting a portugeese sweet bread recipe for the oven - does this taste really similar to the King's Hawaiian bread?

Yep it does! Now... I got mine half mixed up and realized I had no ginger so I made it without. Not sure how different it will be with ginger.

Cool! I am doing the happy dance! Thanks again for posting the recipe. :hurray:

You're welcome!

WARNING: This bread is not good for those of us dieting. Its hard to stop eating it!! ;)

Um......... I should go ahead and admit that I can eat almost a whole one of those round King's Hawaiian bread loaves by myself in one sitting! :o

That sounds yummy!!!!:)

LOL Quiltermom.... I stopped at 4 pieces.
But I just walked back in the house from a walk... and the smell is still here... and... I think I need another piece. LOL

I don't know much about bread machines... whether you could use this recipe in one. But here is one the that AllRecipes has listed for a bread machine, it is a little different though.
Why don't you try making it from scratch, Carolyn? It isn't hard!

I made the Hawaiian Bread again today with ginger... I'm thinking I like it better without the ginger. Both are awesome though!! :)

Thanks for the tip!

That sounds so yummy Sherry ! nad that bread is so expensive! Thanks ! :D

I lost this recipe! Glad I found it here again! :)

Thanks for bumping this up QuilterMom. It sounds so delicious, I can't wait to give it a try. :)

Cool! Yes, that bread is expensive. I make spinich dip to go with it when we go to a party or somewhere for a carry -in. This will help defray that cost.
