Hawaiian Bread

This is a recipe for sweet Hawaiian bread that I absolutely love!  It works great for rolls but it makes wonderful toast, too.  I love to spread a nice layer of Nutella on this bread for breakfast because they are perfect together.  You can also use this recipe to make some really good sweet rolls. 

Hawaiian Bread:

Ingredients:
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tsp coconut extract
1/4 cup butter, melted
3-4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions: 
Layer the ingredients in your bread machine and select the dough setting.  Or...if you want to do it the hard way...In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.  In a large bowl, beat together the yeast mixture, salt, eggs, pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla, coconut extract 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. 
Take the dough out of the bread machine (or wherever you left it to rise if you chose to do it the hard way). Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a well floured surface. Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into 2 lightly greased loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
