Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 5-6 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
Directions
- In a small saucepan, heat the pineapple juice until warm but not hot. Stir in the sugar and butter until melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm pineapple juice mixture. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add 4 cups of flour and the salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Gradually add more flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes on a floured surface.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal parts. Shape each part into a round loaf and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the loaves with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let the bread cool before slicing and serving.
