Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine lukewarm whole milk and honey until dissolved. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Transfer the foamy yeast mixture to a large bowl and stir in the large eggs, pineapple juice, melted butter, remaining honey, and salt until combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour to form a shaggy dough. Knead on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl, cover and let it rise for 1.5 hours.
  5. After rising, punch down the dough and divide into 24 pieces, shaping each into a smooth ball.
  6. Cover the shaped rolls and allow to rise again for about 1 hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the rolls with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack for 30 minutes before serving.
