This is our homemade dinner roll version that delivers the characteristic soft, sweet, feathery crumb. (For a sandwich loaf, see the recipe below.) King\u2019s doesn\u2019t use pineapple juice, but it is called for by a number of copycat recipes. We found it provides depth without adding fruitiness. Milk powder contributes to a loftier rise, making the crumb light and tender, and promotes deeper browning. The rolls are best the day of baking, but they keep for a day or two at room temperature and will hold for up to a week in the refrigerator. To rewarm, wrap in foil and place in a 350\u00b0F oven for about 10 minutes.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Tip_Tip__fTDmm RecipeSummaryContent_tip__AwXvd\" role=\"note\" data-tip-alignment=\"left\" data-tip-background-color=\"white\" data-tip-text-size=\"md\" aria-label=\"Tip\">\n<div class=\"Tip_headerRow__1uMwS\">\n<hr class=\"Tip_divider__qi7Re\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n<p><span class=\"Tip_title__luihG\" style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tip<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Tip_description__PgD23\">\n<p data-p=\"true\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Don\u2019t use fresh pineapple juice, which contains bromelain, an enzyme that will affect gluten development.
