Hawaiian Sweet Bread

SUBMITTED BY: Ruthie Banks PHOTO BY: LubbocKat

"The mother of a high school friend would make 13 of these lightly sweet loaves at a time! I make this bread year-round, but my family insists it's a 'must' for the holidays."

INGREDIENTS

7 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup instant mashed potato flakes
2/3 cup sugar
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup pineapple juice
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups flour, potato flakes, sugar, yeast, salt and ginger. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, butter and pineapple juice to 120 degrees F-130 degrees F. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/4 hours.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Shape each into a ball. Place in three greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Ah, Ruthie Banks! I just realized you're the same Taste-of-Home published recipe winner in the cookbook my family bought me for Xmas. ALLERGIES ACCOMODATED Thx for this heavenly, versatile, and easily adaptable recipe. To accomodate our daughter's allergies, I substituted - a gluten free all-purpose mix for the flour - schredded coconut for the potato flakes - coconut milk for the dairy milk - goat-milk butter for the usual butter - dried egg whites for the eggs, and - coconut/lemon extract for the vanilla I also brushed the top with eggwash for a shiny appearance. TIP: because it can be quite sticky, i recommend minimal handling of the dough. BREADMAKER CONVERSION Pour all wet ingredients first, and then all the dry ones. Yes, all 7+ cups of flour. We can disregard the 4-cup flour capacity limit, because that's for the full baking cycle. We're only using the machine for kneading here (step 1). A few min later, plop the dough into a well greased megapan (i use our turkey pan) and let rise uncovered in semi-warm oven (75 F) for 1-1/4 hrs (step 2). Punch dough down flat, brush with eggwash, crisscross with greased pizza cutter, and let rise for another 45 min (step 3). Remove megapan to preheat oven before baking (step 4). Enjoy your pull-apart hawaiian sweet bread!
