Unbelievably DELICIOUS!!! This is probably my new favorite bread recipe. I love King's Hawaiian bread - can't get it where I'm at, so I gave this a try. I'm not an expert breadmaker by any means, so I try to do everything in the ABM. I halved this recipe (the measurements do come out kind of weird - I just did my best - used 1 XL egg and 2 tsp of yeast) and it yielded absolutely wonderful sweet bread. The 1st time I made 12 rolls from the dough and served them with burgers on the grill - yum!!! The 2nd time I let the ABM bake the bread and what a treat. Made a tuna melt spectacular and leftovers were the best toast in the morning with my coffee. If you like sweet breads, give this a try. This is a wonderful recipe.

It also works well in a bread machine.

This was very yummy! I ate my first slice while it was still warm... yum... I reccommend that. I did make mine in the bread machine on the light crust setting and used the converted amount of rapid bread machine yeast. The texture was light, but it was't exactly like the King's Hawaiian bread as I remember it. I can tell that the flavor is very similar. I think that King's might taste a little sweeter.

this is delicious! i don't think it's quite as sweet as king's brand & it has a little more ginger but it was all in all pretty great!

This turned out great for me. I used my ABM on the dough cycle and then shaped into 12 hamburger buns (I did cut the recipe in half so it would mix in my ABM). I then let the buns rise a bit in a slightly warmed oven. Baked at 350. I think next time I will try adding a bit of salt. Overall a great recipe!

Didn't work for me. I tried to make it in my bread machine (changed to 2 loaves baked at 2lb, sweet, light crust setting) and it just didn't turn out, the entire middle of the loaf collapsed and the bread had a very funny aftertaste. It did smell good, the taste and texture just weren't there to go with it.

This was a really good copycat although I think the other is a touch sweeter. I used ground ginger. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! We will miss you!

Outstanding, sweet bread. Makes the best dinner rolls. Unfortunately they are addicting and I can eat too many! I have to try pecan sticky buns using this dough! Soooooooooo good.

What does "mix inches" mean?

As far as I can tell, this recipe is right on the mark ~ Tastes like King's Hawaiian Bread to us! I like the bread as is, but have also used it in as an ingredient in a great tasting stuffing! Thanks for this very nice recipe keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook Tag]
