Hawaiian bread roll

Hawaiian roll is a type of soft, slightly sweet, and fluffy bread, very popular in Pacific Island cuisine and various international recipes. This roll is characterized by its light texture and subtly sweet flavor, thanks to the use of ingredients like sugar, milk, and butter, often complemented with pineapple juice or coconut milk, which provide that unique tropical touch.

Its origin lies in Hawaiian culinary influence, where the combination of local ingredients led to the creation of a distinctive bread, ideal for accompanying both sweet and savory dishes. Today, it is highly valued in home cooking and in the preparation of sandwiches, burgers, and desserts.

Among its properties, the Hawaiian roll stands out as a moderate source of energy due to the carbohydrates present, with a texture that facilitates digestion. Its sweet flavor makes it particularly versatile for combining with both sweet and savory ingredients.

In the Hispanic American context, the Hawaiian roll may also be known as Hawaiian sweet bread or simply Hawaiian bread, although the specific term "Hawaiian roll" is the most commonly used to differentiate it from other regional sweet breads.
