Hi friends!  How was your Easter?  We had a wonderful celebration filled with much food, family, and love!  We have so much ham leftover though, so I have been looking for yummy recipes to use it all up.  I love those little baked ham and cheese sammies and I didn’t want to run to the grocery store, so I ended up making some homemade Hawaiian Rolls.  They were easy and delicious.  Those Kings Hawaiian Rolls have nothing on these homemade ones. 😉  If you have a bread machine, you can use that and it is super easy.  Otherwise, a stand mixer or some arm muscle strength will do the trick!  Enjoy….

and Just Keep Cooking!!!

Here are the Ham & Cheese Sandwiches I made with the rolls! Yum!

1. Combine pineapple juice, milk, butter, eggs, sugar, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer, stir to combine. Add 2 cups flour and stir to combine. Switch to dough hook and gradually add in remaining flour. Kneading on medium speed for 4-5 minutes until nice ball forms. Remove to large oil covered bowl and cover with plastic wrap/towel to rise for about 1 hour. When risen to double in size, punch down dough and using a bench scrapper or knife divide dough into 15 pieces. Roll into balls and place in 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap/towel and rise in warm place until doubled in size about 45 minutes or so. Preheat oven to 375F and mix 1 egg with 2 Tbls water in small bowl, gently brush rolls with eggwash. Bake in middle oven for 18-20 minutes.(*WATCH for excessive browning...may need to cover rolls with foil if getting too browned!) Enjoy!
2. **Alternately,you can also place ingredients in your BREAD MACHINE on the dough cycle. Place ingredients as recommended by your machine(mine is liquid ingredients first, then flour, sugar, salt, and a well on top with yeast). When dough cycle is done, continue with directions above for dividing rolls into the 15 pieces and placing in pan for second rise, etc...
