Ingredients:

  - 1 cup pineapple juice

  - 1/2 cup milk

  - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  - 2/3 cup granulated sugar

  - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  - 1 teaspoon salt

  - 2 large eggs

  - 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  - 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

Instructions:

1- In a small saucepan, heat the pineapple juice and milk until warm, but not boiling. Remove from heat and let it cool to lukewarm.

2- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm pineapple juice mixture, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs. Mix well.

3- Gradually add in the flour and yeast, stirring until a dough forms.

4- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

5- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

6- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them in greased 9x5-inch loaf pans.

7- Cover the pans with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes, until it rises just above the rim of the pans.

8- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

9- Once the dough has risen, bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. You can also check the internal temperature with a thermometer - it should read around 190°F (88°C).

10- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11- Slice and serve your homemade Jordan: Kingdom of Hawaii Hawaiian Sweet Bread as desired, whether for sandwiches, French toast, or simply enjoyed on its own. Aloha!
