This bread was awesome I used coconut milk instead of regular milk and about a teaspoon of dough conditioner and it really made the bread tender and fluffy. I made them into rolls rather than a loaf and it was a hit! I made pineapple butter to spread onto it and I couldnt have asked for anything better.

great recipe! i've made it several times now, but with the following changes: instead of 1/2 c water, increase the pineapple juice to 1 1/2 cups, and replace the milk with either evaporated milk or coconut milk (or even coconut cream).

The bread is pretty good, but it need more sugar to make it pretty close to the Hawaiian Sweek Bread you get from the store. I want to make is more buttery, so I plan to put more butter in it too when I make it next time.

Didn't have potato flakes, so subbed with potato starch. Went with the suggestion to use more pineapple juice, so nixed the water. My dough was super sticky. Had to add a bunch of extra flour in order to handle it. Used 1/3 of the recipe to make 9 rolls in a round 8 inch pan. It browned fairly quickly, so had to cover with foil for the last 5 mins. In total, baked for 25 mins or so. It smelled great while baking and when I took them out of the oven. However, the texture was similar to that of corn bread. I was expecting a light and fluffy roll. Maybe it turned out this way because I added too much extra flour? Or was it the potato starch substitute?

This is THE BEST bread I have ever made! I had a Hawaiian-themed baby dedication dinner today with the Kalua pork from allrecipes, which was also amazing, but this bread was simply amazing. I served it with some honey butter - yummm!

It's best to use regular yeast and not quick rise yeast. The liquid temperature was too hot for the yeast I use and it killed my yeast both times. I plan to try it again with regular yeast though. It smells great though!!

I LOVE this recipe!! Made it this past week, about 15 loaves all in all, to give as Easter presents to family and friends from church. Everyone ranted and raved about it...one friend said I should bake and sell it, it was so good! :) So is definitely a winner recipe...can hold up against the store bought Hawaiian bread any day!! Only thing different I did was for the 1/2 cup of water, I used 1/4 c water and 1/4 cup coconut milk instead. (you can get the coconut milk in a half gallon carton over in the milk section of your grocery store. The brand I used was Silk.)

Excellent soft bread. Needs to be slightly sweeter. Add additionaly pineapple juice, coconut flakes, and coconut extract for more "hawaiian" flavor. Dough is normally very sticky after first rise, but will be fine if you separate on the counter with additional flour. Bread needs to be baked for about 5 minutes additional after browning (with aluminum foil on top of pan to prevent burning) in order for center of bread to be done. Ensure that you grease the pans because this bread will definitely stick if you don't!! Very easy to make... I ramped up the ginger, but wish I'd have added more pineapple and coconut flavor as it's a pretty lightly flavored bread. Will be delicious with honey butter!

I had a problem with the interior getting done. Like one user said it took longer then the 25 minute cook time they give, and one loaf still wasn't fully done. Couldn't really taste the pineapple so i think i will replace the water with more pineapple juice next time. All in all the bread tasted good, but not exactly what i was hoping for.
