DO NOT use the bread machine to knead this because I tried it and it is way too full to even mix. Other than that the taste of the bread was very good! I will try to follow the recipe next time.

I made this bread first last year for Easter. I am no longer allowed to show up for any holiday without it. It is super easy to make and delicious!!!

I followed instructions exactly but stirred while heating the liquid in the saucepan so the milk didn't curdle like another user reported. This bread has good texture, but tastes distinctly of ginger, so make sure you like ginger. I'm not very into this bread, but my husband likes it.

I was recently in Hawaii and had the most heavenly sweet bread. I didn't get the recipe so I came here looking for something similar. Way off. I actually didn't like it at all, even just for bread. A not of caution when be careful the order you put your liquid ingredients together. The pineapple juice can make the mild curdle. If you choose to replace the water with more juice I suggest adding the warmed juice and milk to the dry ingredients separately.

This was a great recipe! I made this recipe and shaped them as rolls to sandwich some Honeybaked Ham, and it was a perfect match! Now for the changes: I read the other reviews and replaced the water with pineapple juice. Instead of adding more sugar, I put a squeeze or two of corn syrup (to encourage browning). I wanted to make a denser bread, so I kneaded in more flour until the bread was smooth and elastic. With the extra flour, I think the bread needed a little more salt, however I didn't add the salt into the dough, not knowing how it would affect the yeast's leavening ability, so I brushed some butter on top of the rolls and added some kosher salt to the top of the bread before the final rise. I made (1 1/2 recipes of) the dough in advance and put it in the fridge. I noticed that the warmer the dough is stickier it is and tougher to shape. I would recommend doing throwing it into the fridge after punching it down, especially if you wanted to make rolls. Thank you for sharing! I'll be using this recipe again and again!

I have never made bread before... It was so sticky I kept adding flour so I could work with it. It turned out very dense but the flavor was good. I decided to to serve with my Thanksgiving dinner but froze it and I made some stuffing with it and bread pudding.

The cook time, I found, needs to be longer. I cooked for 25 minutes on convection and the interior was still not completely done.

Delicious is an understatement for this bread. I was afraid it was going to be a bit too sweet, but it isn't. My husband stated it was the best I've ever made and even my youngest (who doesn't like corn bread) really liked it. Warning, it is hard to stop eating after just one piece.

wonderful recipe...no not kings quality. I PREFER homemade bread taste to storebought. I also increase the sugar alittle not exceeding 1c. and substitute extra pineapple juice instead of the water called for. The aroma is wonderful. very flavorful. when cooking in loaves I cooked longer only because my cake pans were a little bigger than those called for.

It's a great basic bread.. but as the recipe stands it taste nothing like King's Hawaiian bread. We couldn't even taste the pineapple and it wasn't sweet at all. Lots of work for it just to turn out tasting plain. So as a basic bread, it's wonderful.. As sweet hawaiian bread... it's awful

Really, really good. Not quite like Kings Hawaiian Sweet Bread, but still equally good in its own way. I halved the recipe and rolled the dough into balls to fit into a 9x13 pan. I added more pineapple juice and sugar, per request of another reviewer. It turned out great! Fluffy and soft! Yum!

I'm so glad I found this recipe. We used it for bread bowls for soup. Amazing! My DH said it was better than hawaiian bread from the store. Next time I may decrease the ginger a tad but really, it is very good as is. We loved it!

This bread was very easy to make and rose quite nicely, however it was lacking some of the sweetness of what I am used to. I think that next time we will increase the sugar and the pineapple juice.

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!

I reduced the recipe to 24 servings because it's just me and my husband in the house. This is his favorite of all the breads I've tried. It has a great taste and it's fantastic as toast. And it looks so nice when it comes out of the oven. I baked them on a cookie sheet instead of the cake pans. The second time I made them ovals instead of round so that they would bake more evenly in the middle and they came out wonderfully.
