Prepare the Bread Machine: Add the wet ingredients to the bread machine pan. Start with the pineapple juice, followed by the softened butter and egg. Make sure to layer the ingredients according to your bread machine's instructions.
Add the Dry Ingredients: Next, add the bread flour, sugar, and salt to the pan, ensuring they’re evenly spread over the wet ingredients.
Add Yeast: Make a small well in the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast into the well. This keeps the yeast separate from the liquid until the machine begins its cycle.
Select the Settings: Choose the “Sweet” or “Basic” setting on your bread machine. This will allow for the extra rise time needed for Hawaiian bread. Set the loaf size to 1.5 pounds (or adjust based on your machine’s recommendations).
Start the Machine: Press start and let the bread machine knead, rise, and bake the dough. It typically takes around 3-4 hours, depending on your machine.
Cool and Slice: Once the bread is done baking, remove it from the machine and allow it to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing.
