Hawaiian rolls
Soft island bread
Hawaiian rolls are small, sweet bread rolls with a soft, fluffy texture and slight golden color.
The sweetness comes from pineapple juice or sugar in the dough.
They're associated with Hawaiian cuisine but are most familiar in the mainland U.S. as the King's Hawaiian brand, popular for sliders and holiday meals: We made pulled pork sliders on Hawaiian rolls.
