How To Make Instant Pot Hawaiian Rolls?

Step One: Add the sugar, water, and yeast to a bowl. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes. A layer of foam should appear.

Step Two: Add the flour and mix with a dough hook until a ball forms.

Step Three: Add the oil to the instant pot liner and coat the liner generously. Then, add the ball of dough.

Step Four: Cover and set to yogurt mode for 40 minutes. Knead dough every ten minutes. The dough will double in size.

Step Five: Remove the dough and divide into 9 equal parts. Roll each separate dough ball into itself forming a smooth roll.

Step Six: Place rolls in an 8 x 8 baking pan that’s been oiled. Cover rolls with a damp cloth and let sit for 15 minutes. Bake in the oven at 350°f for 15 minutes. Allow the baked bread rolls to cool down a little bit at room temperature. Serve your Instant Pot Hawaiian Rolls immediately.

Pro Cooking Tips For These Bread Rolls

Proper Proofing: Ensure that your dough is properly proofed to achieve soft and fluffy rolls. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment until it has doubled in size. This step is crucial for developing the desired texture and flavor of Hawaiian rolls.
Brush With Butter: Brushing the rolls with melted butter before and after baking adds a delicious richness and helps create a golden brown crust. This simple step enhances the flavor and appearance of the rolls, giving them that signature Hawaiian roll shine and flavor.

Best Way To Store Hawaiian Rolls

Storage: After enjoying the delicious Instant Pot Hawaiian Rolls, store any leftover portions in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. For longer shelf life, place the container in the refrigerator. Make sure to consume within 3-4 days to maintain optimal freshness and flavor.
Freezing: To extend the storage of Hawaiian Rolls, securely wrap them in either aluminum foil then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Ensure airtight sealing to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer for 2-3 months without affecting taste and texture.
Reheating: To enjoy frozen Hawaiian Rolls again, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and cover them loosely with foil. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, use a microwave with damp paper towel-covered rolls, reheating in 30-second intervals until desired warmth.
