Diana's Island-Style Sweet Bread Rolls
  1. 1

    Place the ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order the manufacturer recommends. Choose the dough cycle for a 2 pound batch and press Start. The dough may be slightly sticky, so you might add a little more bread flour as it mixes.

  2. 2

    When the dough cycle finishes, turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into twelve equal pieces. Shape the pieces into rounds and set them on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
