INGREDIENTS

2 (¼ ounce) packages active dry yeast
½ cup warm water (110°F – 115°F)
½ cup pineapple juice, room temperature
5 – 5 ¼ cups bread flour, divided
¼ cup instant corn masa flour
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten, optional
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
2/3 cup agave syrup or honey
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup coconut oil  

Whipped Agave Butter, optional

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
¼ cup agave syrup or honey

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a mixer bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; let proof 5 – 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in pineapple juice, 1 cup bread flour, corn flour, gluten and sugar. Beat 2 minutes to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 30 – 60 minutes.
  3. Stir in eggs, nonfat dry milk, agave syrup, salt and coconut oil.  Add enough remaining bread flour to make a soft dough. 
  4. Knead 8 to 10 minutes with dough hook or by hand. Place in greased bowl; turn to coat. Cover; let rise until doubled, about 1 – 1 ½ hours.  Punch dough down.
  5. Divide into equal portions and shape into uniform rolls. Place rolls in a greased 15” x 10” pan or two 8 or 9-inch pans. Cover; let rise until doubled.
  6. Preheated oven to 375°F. Bake rolls 17 – 20 minutes until golden and internal temperature of a roll in center of the pan registers 190°F – 195°F. If needed, tent rolls with aluminum foil during the last part of baking to prevent over-browning. 
  7. If desired, brush rolls lightly with melted butter. After 5 minutes, remove rolls from pan and cool on wire rack. Serve with Whipped Agave Butter.
  8. For Whipped Agave Butter: In electric mixer bowl, with wire attachment, whip together butter and agave syrup until light and fluffy.

 

Yield: 32 – 35 rolls

Note: Agave syrup is an all-natural sweetener made from the juice of the agave plant.
