Hawaiian bread

Soft golden loaves

Hawaiian bread is a soft, slightly sweet bread with a fluffy texture, originally associated with Portuguese sweet bread brought to Hawaii by immigrant workers.

The enriched dough contains eggs, butter, and pineapple juice, giving it a golden color and subtle sweetness.

Hawaiian bread is popular for sliders and sandwiches where its sweetness contrasts with savory fillings: We used Hawaiian rolls for the pulled pork sliders.
